Electoral ward

Graig is a ward for Pontypridd Town Council, electing two town councillors.[1]

Between 1976 and 1996 Graig was an electoral ward to Taff-Ely Borough Council, electing two district councillors.[2]

Graig subsequently became a ward to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, electing one county councillor.[3] Following a ward boundary review, it was merged with neighbouring Rhondda to form a new larger ward of 'Graig and Pontypridd West', electing two county borough councillors. The change was effective from the 2022 Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council election.[4]
