The 2021 City of Lincoln Council election took place on 6 May 2021 to elect members of City of Lincoln Council in Lincolnshire, England. ^[2] This was held on the same day as other local elections. One third of 33 seats were up for election, with one councillor in each of the 11 wards being elected. As the election in 2016 had been an all-out election with new ward boundaries, the seats of the candidates that had finished first in each ward in the all-out 2016 election were now up for election.
