Pembrokeshire County Council election, 1892

The second election to Pembrokeshire County Council was held on 8 March 1892.[1] It was preceded by the 1889 election and followed by the 1895 election.

Overview of the result

At the inaugural election in 1889 most seats were contested, but three years later many of the sitting members were returned unopposed.

Unopposed returns

In the vast majority of wards, candidates were returned unopposed.[2] There were fewer contested elections than three years previously.[3]
