City of Lincoln Ballot Question 2: Charter Amendment Aligning City Elections with Statewide Elections Beginning in 2028
What does this measure do?
Lincoln would hold city elections with statewide elections starting in 2028, so the mayor and district council members elected in 2027 would run again in 2028. You would vote for city offices in even-year November elections, and your taxes do not change.

City elections move to even years in 2028; officials elected in 2027 serve one year, and at-large members elected in 2025 serve until 2030. If Question 3 also passes, the one with more votes takes effect.
A NO vote means
City elections stay in odd-numbered years unless Question 3 passes.
