PEMBROKE — Lumbee tribal members get their chance to go to the polls Tuesday and elect a chairman and seven members to the 21-member Lumbee Tribal Council.

Four candidates hope to unseat incumbent Chairman Paul Brooks, who has served as chairman since 2011 when he was elected in a special election to fill the remaining one-year on the three-year term of former Chairman Purnell Swett.
