<body><div>LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) — While the last of Lancaster County’s provisional ballots aren’t set to be counted until Friday, it appears the results of a months-long push to change term limits and voter eligibility in Lincoln will end with a muted mixed bag.Lincoln City Council Chairman Brodey Weber was pleased to see voters appear to reject what he called “targeted” changes to the city’s election process.“I think we just continued to see politically targeted maneuvers by a group of political insiders and consultants that will stop at nothing in their pursuit of power,” Weber said.Lincoln voters appear to have rejected Question 6, which would have allowed people living within 3 miles of city limits to vote in municipal elections. Question 6 appears to be failing by about 6,000 votes at last count.Question 3 was the city’s alternative amendment for even-year mayoral and council elections beginning in 2030. Question 4 will limited the council to two consecutive four-year terms. Both appear to have received enough votes to pass and more votes than their alternatives.Tony Fulton, a Good Government Lincoln petition sponsor, said the group’s work was a victory in giving Lincoln voters a voice on voter participation.“We highlighted the fundamentally unfair circumstances where citizens are regulated and taxed by people who don’t answer to them as voters,” Fulton said of Question 6. “This issue will continue to be discussed and hopefully ultimately addressed.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=48ki90_1GvO6o0q00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=48ki90_1GvO6o0q00" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Lincoln City Attorney Yohance Christie speaks with 10/11s Senior Reporter Darsha Dodge about the city charter amendments on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026.

Beau Ballard of Lincoln introduced a bill in the last legislative session that aimed to create a three-mile buffer zone around Lincoln. People within that zone could vote in city elections. The bill was ultimately killed.10/11 has reached out to Ballard to see whether he plans to reintroduce the bill again in the next session.</div></body>
