LAKE PARK — A state investigation has been requested after complaints of voting irregularities Tuesday in Lake Park, according to the county’s elections supervisor.

Callers to The Valdosta Daily Times claimed they were given ballots that omitted city races and were told they would need to cast provisional ballots to fix the problem.

Elections Supervisor Deb Cox said if there was a problem, it wasn’t on the county elections board’s end.

“Anyone Lake Park says is in the city gets a ballot (for city elections),” she said.

Cox suggested the problem might be people attempting to vote twice in the Lake Park mayor’s race: first with the touchscreen machines at the polling station and again with paper provisional ballots.

“That would be illegal,” she said.

Cox said she put in a request for state investigators to look into Lake Park’s voting situation.

The mayor’s office and two at-large city council seats were at stake in Lake Park Tuesday. In the mayoral race, incumbent Eric Schindler ran against former mayor Keith Sandlin, while Ronald Carter, Tyler Davis and Tracy Fountain were in the running for the two council seats.
