1913 Carmarthen Rural District Council election

An election to the Carmarthen Rural District Council in Wales was held in April 1913.[1] It was preceded by the 1910 election and, due to the scheduled 1916 election being postponed due to the First World War, was followed by the 1919 election. The majority of members were returned unopposed.[2] The successful candidates were also elected to the Carmarthen Board of Guardians.
