  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes changes to the electoral arrangements for the city of Lincoln following recommendations made by the Boundary Committee for England to the Electoral Commission.\nThe Electoral Commission accepted the Boundary Committee’s recommendations without modification.\nThe electoral changes apply in respect of local government elections to be held on and after the ordinary day of election of councillors in 2007.\nArticle 3 abolishes the existing wards of the city and replaces them with 11 new ones. That article, the Schedule and the map also establish the names and areas of the new city wards and the numbers of city councillors for each ward.\nArticle 4 makes provision for a whole council election in 2007 and for reversion to the established system of election by thirds in subsequent years.\nArticle 6 obliges the Electoral Registration Officer to make any necessary amendments to the electoral register to reflect the new electoral arrangements.\nArticle 7 revokes the City of Lincoln (Electoral Changes) Order 1998, save for article 3(7).\nThe map defined in article 2 shows the new city wards. It is available at www.boundarycommittee.org.uk/your-area/lincoln.cfm and, at all reasonable times, at the offices of Lincoln City Council and at the principal office of the Electoral Commission at Trevelyan House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 2HW.",
