Following The County of Mid Glamorgan (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1988 the number of wards were increased to 74, taking effect from the 1989 elections (and preparatory activity beforehand). Each ward elected one county councillor to Mid Glamorgan Council, totalling 74.

Mid Glamorgan was divided into local government districts (often with borough status), namely Borough of Cynon Valley, Borough of Merthyr Tydfil, Borough of Ogwr, Borough of Rhondda, District of Rhymney Valley and Borough of Taff-Ely. These also had their own elected borough or district council.
