The fifteenth election to Cardiganshire County Council took place in March 1934. It was preceded by the 1931 election and followed by the 1937 election.
34 of the 50 councillors were returned unopposed and the Rev T. Mason Jones, now aged 75 who had served as chairman of the Council in 1899-1900 was returned unopposed at Devils Bridge. This resulted in fifteen contests, the same number as three years previously [1] Political affiliations did not feature in the election.
Eight aldermen retired, of whom only D. Rees Morgan (Bow Street) contested the election. The sitting councillor, Edward James, stood down in his favour. [2]
Following the fifteen contests, eleven new members were elected and four siting members defeated, including the Rev E.O. Jenkins who lost at Llandysul to retiring alderman Josiah Jones. Seats were not fought on political lines. [3]
Very little change took place as a result of an election in which only one sitting member lost his seat.
