The sixth and last election to South Glamorgan County Council was held in May 1993. It was preceded by the 1989 election. Following local government re-organization the authority was abolished in 1996 and its powers transferred to two unitary authorities, Cardiff City Council and the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council. Elections for the two shadow authorities were held in 1995.

Boundary changes

There were no boundary changes at this election.

Candidates

Conservative and Labour candidates contested all seats. Most seats were also contested by the Liberal Democrats. There were a smaller number of Plaid Cymru and Green Party candidates and a few Independents.

Outcome

Since the previous election two SDP councilors joined Labour. Labour retained control with a small number of seats changing hands.

This table summarises the result of the elections in all wards. 62 councillors were elected.[1]
