Send a link to a friend
[November 19, 2012]
The city clerk's office has
announced the redistricting of wards within the city of Lincoln for
the election of the Lincoln City Council. This redistricting reduces
the number of wards within the city from five to four, effective May
1, 2013. This reduction was required by state law as a result of the
decrease in population as enumerated by the 2010 U.S. decennial
census. Further, the four wards created by the redistricting
ordinance are approximately equal in population, according to the
census, as is also required by law. See the new ward map above.

The aldermen from each of the new wards will be elected on April 9,
2013, and will begin serving their terms on May 1, 2013. The mayor,
city clerk and city treasurer will be nominated, elected and begin
their terms on the same dates as the aldermen. A primary election
will occur on Feb. 26, 2013, in any race where the number of
candidates who file in each primary exceeds the number of officials
to be elected. Questions concerning the boundaries of the new
wards should be addressed to the city clerk's office at City Hall or
by telephone at 735-2815. Copies of the new ward map may be viewed
or obtained at the city clerk's office.
