City of Lincoln Council elections

One third of the City of Lincoln Council in Lincolnshire, England is elected each year, followed by one year when there is an election to Lincolnshire County Council instead. The council is divided up into 11 wards, electing 33 councillors, since the last boundary changes in 2007.[1]

Political control

Prior to 1974, Lincoln was a county borough, independent from any county council. Under the Local Government Act 1972 it became a non-metropolitan district, with Lincolnshire County Council providing county-level services in the city. The first election to the reconstituted city council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council since 1973 has been held by the following parties:[2]

	Democratic Labour[3]	1973–1979
	Conservative	1979–1982
	Labour	1982–2007
	Conservative	2007–2010
	No overall control	2010–2011
	Labour	2011–present
