As part of our mission to inform the public, we will be covering the City of Lynn Municipal Election this year. LCTV’s extensive coverage includes important information for voters such as voter registration deadlines, bios from the candidates, forums, and more. We also provide election night results shows, letting the city know first who won!
This year there are 4 Councilor At-Large seats & 6 seats on the School Committee up for grabs. There are also contested races for Ward Councilor in Wards 1, 2, & 4. Ward Councilors Alinsug in Ward 3, Chakoutis in Ward 5, Hogan in Ward 6, & Walsh in Ward 7 are all running unopposed.
Clicking each of the races listed will lead you to pages with candidates and videos for that specific race. All candidates have been invited to participate in our coverage, if information is missing for a candidate it means they declined to participate or missed the deadlines.
