A large number of candidates had been returned unopposed with only seven wards being contested. Initially, no nominations were received for the Llandawke and Llansadurnen ward, nor the Llanddowror ward.

Boundary changes
There were no boundary changes. The Board of Guardians, of which all members were previously also member of, had been abolished in 1930.
