Area covered by election

Incumbent Mayor Did not exist

The 2025 Greater Lincolnshire mayoral election will be held on 1 May 2025 to elect the inaugural mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, on the same day as other local elections across the country.

Background

The election covers the entire historic and ceremonial county of Lincolnshire, which is governed by three councils: Lincolnshire County Council, North Lincolnshire Council, and North East Lincolnshire Council. Those councils will remain in place, with some powers being transferred to the new mayor.

Electoral system

The election will use the voting system of first past the post to elect the mayor, in this system the candidate with the most votes wins. The Electoral Reform Society described the move towards first past the post as one lowering the bar for politicians and thus damaging British democracy.

Candidates

Several individuals have either publicly expressed interest or had media speculation about the possibility of them running:

Confirmed

• Andrea Jenkyns, Reform UK, former Conservative MP for Morley and Outwood
• Jason Stockwood, Labour Party, businessman
• Rob Waltham, Conservative Party, leader of North Lincolnshire Council.

Other possibilities

• Marianne Overton, independent, leader of Lincolnshire Independents on Lincolnshire County Council
• Ross Pepper, Liberal Democrat, former parliamentary candidate for Lincoln
