An election to the Carmarthenshire County Council was held in March 1931. [1] It was preceded by the 1928 election and followed by the 1934 election.
The Independent group remained the majority grouping on the Council. In the Llanelli area the potential for Labour to win further ground was complicated by the appearance of Communist Party candidates.
There was one boundary change, namely the division of the existing Llandybie ward into two divisions, each of which was won by Labour.
Only a minority of the 53 divisions were contested. 53 councillors were elected.
