Welsh local election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An election to the Llandeilo Rural District Council was held in April 1913.[1] It was preceded by the 1910 election and, due to the scheduled 1916 election being postponed due to the First World War, was followed by the 1919 election. The majority of members were returned unopposed.[2] The successful candidates were also elected to the Llandeilo Board of Guardians.
