Local elections 2022: Candidates confirmed for Lincoln and North East Lincolnshire ballots

Know who’s standing in your ward

Candidates for the May 5, 2022, elections have been confirmed.

Elections will take place in Lincoln and North East Lincolnshire with 11 seats up for grabs in the city and 16 in the latter authority.

The deadline to register to vote in this year’s local elections is April 14, 2022, with the deadline for postal and proxy applications on April 19.

In Lincoln there are currently 22 Labour councillors, 10 Conservatives and one Liberal Democrat councillor.

Although Conservatives might find it difficult to take a majority, however, they’ll be looking to strengthen their current councillors while making in roads into Labour territory in the footsteps of some of their nationwide counterparts.

In North East Lincolnshire, which switched from a Red to a Blue majority in 2019, the Labour party will be hoping to bounce back despite several defeats in by-elections since. The council currently includes 32 Conservatives, seven Labour and two Liberal Democrats. Again the possibility of achieving an outright majority would require some pretty heavy swings across the wards.

Here is the list of candidates vying for votes this year. Those in bold are current councillors.
