An election to Llanelli Borough Council was held in May 1991.[1] It was preceded by the 1987 election and followed, as a result of local government reorganisation in Wales and the formation of unitary authorities, by the Carmarthenshire County Council election of 1995. On the same day there were elections to the other local authorities and community councils in Wales.
