With respect to parliamentary elections East Attica belongs to the electoral district of Attica.

As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit East Attica was created out of the former prefecture East Attica (Greek: νομαρχία Ανατολικής Αττικής). The prefecture had the same territory as the present regional unit. At the same time, the municipalities were reorganised, according to the table below.^[2]

Before the abolishment of the provinces of Greece in 2006, part of the East Attica prefecture was in the Attica Province, which also covered part of West Attica.^[3]
