Election day coming to 5 Polk County cities. Polls open at 7 a.m.

The cities of Bartow, Davenport, Dundee, Haines City and Lake Wales will hold elections Tuesday.

Dundee voters will consider five proposed amendments to the city charter. In Lake Wales, voters will choose a mayor and a city commissioner.

Each of the other three cities has a single City Commission race on the ballot.

Three candidates are vying to succeed Lake Wales Mayor Eugene Fultz.

Curtis Gibson has been on the City Commission since 2017. Jack Hilligoss is an interim city commissioner, having replaced Kris Fitzgerald after she was suspended in July following an arrest. The third candidate, Tammy James, is a strategic adviser with the World Wildlife Fund.

Two candidates appear on the ballot for Seat 4 of the Lake Wales City Commission: Daniel Krueger and James Loydd.

Among the proposed charter amendments on the Dundee ballot, one would give the mayor and city commission authority to determine their own salaries with no date limitations. Another would allow vacant positions of the mayor or commissioners to be filled in keeping with state laws.

Polling locations will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
