The 2008 City of Lincoln Council election took place on 1 May 2008 to elect members of City of Lincoln Council in Lincolnshire, England. This was held on the same day as other local elections. One third of the 33 seats were up for election, with one councillor in each of the 11 wards being elected. As the previous election in 2007 had been an all-out election with new ward boundaries, the seats of the candidates that had finished third in each ward in 2006 were up for election. The Conservative Party retained control of the council.[3][4]
