Our Explanation
Back in 2018, Lincoln voted in 3-term (12 years) term limits for the mayor. This provision would limit the council members to two consecutive 4-year terms.
Voting FOR this amendment would mean a councilperson could serve 2 consecutive terms (8 years).
Voting AGAINST this amendment would leave things as they are with no limits – unless #5 passes.
