Attention Mulberry Democrats: Candidates Needed
A general election for Mulberry City Council seats will be held April 5, 2022. The Polk County DEC encourages Mulberry residents eligible to run for Seats #2 and #4, or Mayor-at-Large, to seriously consider becoming a candidate to help turn Polk Blue in '22, at all levels of government. 

The qualifying period runs from February 7-22. For further details and materials needed to file for candidacy, visit the City of Mulberry website.

Residents eligible to vote for the Mulberry election, and not yet registered, can do so by March 7, on line via the Florida Online Voter Registration System. Voters can also request to vote by mail via the Polk County Supervisor of Elections website, where you can also make any changes to your name or address.
