40 candidates were returned unopposed resulting in only ten contests. This was five fewer than in 1949 with more unopposed returns than at any election since the council was established in 1888.[1]
Eight aldermen retired, of whom four sought election.
Outcomeedit
Of the ten contests, the striking result was the defeat of the chairman-elect, Morgan Jones at Strata Florida. Jones, a retiring alderman and member since 1928 was opposed and defeated by retiring councillor Emrys Lloyd.[2]
In addition to the 50 councillors the council consisted of 16 county aldermen. Aldermen were elected by the council, and served a six-year term. Following the 1937 election, there were eight aldermanic vacancies which were filled at the annual meeting.[3] The following retiring aldermen were re-elected:
J.D. Evans, New Cross
D.L. Herbert, Llangeitho
Meredydd Ll.G. Williams, Llanwenog
In addition, the following four new aldermen were elected:
Emlyn Abraham-Williams, Aberystwyth
D. Alban Davies, Llanrhystud
Simon Davies, Felinfach
D. Lloyd Thomas, Tresaith
Evan Davies, Llechryd
In addition to the three retiring aldermen who were re-elected, Simon Davies had previously served as an alderman from 1928 until 1946.

Seven by-elections were held following the election of aldermen.[4]
