To allow for consistency in our election procedures and times, and to bring them to the same standards as federal elections, the Constitution of the Region of Lincoln is amended as follows: Quote from: Lincoln Constitution, Article 5.7 Except in December, all elections for governor, Council, and federal Senate shall begin on the penultimate Friday of the given month.
