The 2010 City of Lincoln Council election took place on 6 May 2010 to elect members of City of Lincoln Council in Lincolnshire, England. This was held on the same day as other local elections, as well as the parliamentary general election. One third of the 33 seats were up for election, with one councillor in each of the 11 wards being elected. As the 2007 election had been an all-out election with new ward boundaries, the seats of the candidates that had finished second in each ward in 2006 were up for election. The Conservative Party retained control of the council.[3][4]
