By popular demand, here is the official Sample Ballot for the City of Lincoln General Election on May 7, 2013.
In addition to listing the candidates for City Council, Lincoln Public Schools Board of Education, and Airport Authority Board of Directors, it’s very important to note that the General Election ballot also includes TWO proposed Amendments to Lincoln’s City Charter.
A note for voters of principle – regardless of your political “labels”:
For those who value the principle that no one is above the law – especially elected officials – then it will further interest to you to know that neither of the two proposed Amendments on this May 7 General Election ballot are the referendum the City of Lincoln was required to present to Lincoln voters as of May 2012. A year later and City of Lincoln officials still have not scheduled or conducted a special election, nor acted to place that referendum on the April 9 Primary or May 7 General Election ballots. Yet, they did decide to put two other matters before voters.
The specific issue, the subject of the referendum, is not the issue, it is the principle. Therefore, I’m purposefully not linking here to any of our articles. If you would like more information, I encourage you to take a visit around our site (starting with the sidebars) and/or return in the coming days, as we do intend to publish additional information, as time allows.
