1934 Carmarthen Rural District Council election

An election to the Carmarthen Rural District Council in Wales was held on 26 March 1934.^[1] A large number of candidates had been returned unopposed with only six wards being contested.^[2]

It was preceded by the 1931 election and was the last election conducted prior to the implementation of a review into district boundaries in Carmarthenshire. Following a recommendation made in 1932, it was decided that the rural districts of Carmarthen and Whitland would be merged.^[3] A more drastic proposal to combine the rural districts of Carmarthen, Llanybydder, Newcastle Emlyn and Whitland, together with Newcastle Emlyn UDC, was rejected.^[3]

A partial election would be held in 1935 in seats where wards would be amalgamated or the number of seats reduced as a result of re-organization. Members unaffected by the changes would remain in post. The 1937 election would be the first time that a whole council would be elected for the merged authority.
