The third election to the Carmarthenshire County Council was held in March 1895.[1] It was preceded by the 1892 election and followed by the 1898 election.

Overview of the Result

The Liberals retained a strong majority.

Boundary Changes

One feature was that the multi-member seats, which existed in the Llanelli area in the first election in 1889, were divided so that all councillors were now elected to represent single member wards.
