Dundee, Florida – A proposal by the Town of Dundee to delay the next municipal election and extend the current mayor and commissioners’ terms by approximately eighteen months is drawing strong public backlash and may lead to legal action.
On October 28, 2025, the Town Commission voted 5 to 0 on the first reading of Ordinance No. 25 03. The ordinance moves the next municipal election from April 2026 to November 2027. By delaying the election, the current mayor and two commissioners would remain in office longer than originally elected. Language in the ordinance states that the terms of those officials are “extended to the dates their successors are elected and seated.”
