Additional Election Information:
Information about registering to vote (deadline for the Primary has passed, but you can still register for the General Election)
- Note that the City of Lincoln Council has seven positions. Four of the seats are held by districts and three positions are “at-large”, meaning voters city wide elect these Council members. District-based members are voted on only by the constituents in their respective districts (click HERE to see that district map). Presumably, this structure is designed to provide balanced representation with members who are specifically accountable to a particular part of the City and those whose job it is to take a broader view. ↩
