Lincoln City Council

Four City Council districts - Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 - are on this year's primary ballot. With only one incumbent running, there is plenty of interest in filling the four-year terms.

There are 12 people vying for the four district seats up for election. The council has seven members, four from equally populated districts and three elected at large.

Name recognition played an important part of the Lincoln City Council primary, with the two incumbents leading the pack of six candidates who move on to the general election in a month.

Leirion Gaylor Baird and Roy Christensen, who have each served four years on the council, received the most votes in Tuesday's primary, where just 18 percent of registered voters cast ballots.
