This is your reminder that today is the day to vote for your next City of Lincoln councillor.
Voting has been open since 7am this morning and will close at 10pm tonight.
These elections are just as important as National ones. They allow local voices to be heard and are vital in deciding how a city or town’s services are run.
Lincoln is split into 11 wards; each party is represented by councillors who will serve a four-year term.
Parties who are running include, Green Party, Liberal Democrats, Reform UK, Labour Party, Conservative Party.
Each candidate running can be found online and will be printed on your ballot paper.
Central polling stations are located at the University of Lincoln Library and Lincoln City Football Club. However, you can find your nearest polling station on the City of Lincoln website.
Emily Kennedy is a student at the University of Lincoln and is voting today.
She said: “I think it’s really important to vote because it is our future. Because there is so much hate in the world at times, it’s important to voice your opinions.”
“You can’t complain if you aren’t voting to create change,” she added.
Emily is one of many who are in line to vote at the University’s Library.
Results of the election will be released early hours on Friday morning.
