Overview

  • Dame Andrea Jenkyns, Reform UK’s candidate, is leading in polls with 40% support, ahead of Conservative and Labour rivals.
  • A formal complaint questions Jenkyns’s eligibility, alleging her primary residence is in Yorkshire, not Greater Lincolnshire.
  • The Electoral Commission requires mayoral candidates to demonstrate local ties through residence, work, property ownership, or electoral registration.
  • Jenkyns is registered on the electoral roll at a North Kesteven address and has stated she will move to Lincolnshire full-time if elected.
  • Reform UK has dismissed the complaint as politically motivated and expects it to be resolved in Jenkyns’s favor during the April 25 hearing.
