An election to the Llandeilo Rural District Council was held in April 1931. It was preceded by the 1928 election and followed by the 1934 election. [1] There were unopposed retrns in eight wards. [2]
The Llandeilo Board of Guardians had been abolished in 1930.
The vast majority of candidates were either Independent or Labour (the latter all in the rural areas). Some Independent Labour candidates contested seats,usually as a result of disagreements between trade unions. In Glynamman, the two retiring members stood on different platforms to three years earlier, with former Independent William Watkin Davies running as a Labour candidate and D.J. Pritchard, elected as a British Legion candis=date, defending his seat as an Independent.
A similar pattern to recent elections was observed at the election, with Labour candidates contesting the urban wards but Independents being returned for the rural areas.
