Local Elections 2019 - here's how you have voted in North Kesteven

We will be adding final figures for each ward as the results are declared and updating this story on our website, so keep checking in to see the latest election results.

We have listed all the candidates, ward by ward. Bear in mind there are three candidates already elected unopposed as only enough candidates stood to fill the seats.

These are Councillors Ross Little for the Witham Ward in North Hykeham, Susan Waring for Leasingham & Rauceby and Gill Ogden in Billinghay, Martin & North Kyme. There is also one vacant seat in the Billinghay, Martin and North Kyme ward as no-one came forward to fill the seat. A by-election will be held for this in June.

In total there are 75 candidates competing for 43 seats – 40 of them being contested. Prior to the vote the council was made up of 28 Conservative members and 15 independents (including Lincolnshire Independents).

There is only one ward (Castle) in Sleaford Town Council, which is contested. The council will also have to co-opt two more councillors to fill vacant seats remaining in Navigation and Quarrington wards due to shortage of candidates.
