Kesteven County Council election, 1898

The administrative county of Kesteven (1889–1974), shown within England.

The third set of elections to Kesteven County Council were held in March 1898. Kesteven was one of three divisions of the historic county of Lincolnshire in England; it consisted of the ancient wapentakes (or hundreds) of Aswardhurn, Aveland, Beltisloe, Boothby Graffoe, Flaxwell, Langoe, Loveden, Ness, and Winnibriggs and Threo.^[1] The Local Government Act 1888 established Kesteven as an administrative county, governed by a Council;^[2] elections were held every three years from 1889, until it was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, which established Lincolnshire County Council in its place.^[3]^[4]

Forty-eight electoral divisions of the new Council were outlined in December 1888.^[5] Nearly every candidate was returned unopposed, with contests in only three divisions.
