The South Carolina primary elections are over, and there will be a runoff election for some candidates on June 26. Here’s what you need to know.
Not everyone is eligible to vote in the runoff. The runoff is a continuation of the primary vote. If you voted in the primary, you may only vote in the runoff of the same party you originally chose. For example, if you voted in the Republican primary on June 20, you may only vote in the Republican runoff. Check your sample ballots to see if you have any candidates to vote on. If you did not vote in the primary, you may vote in either party’s runoff.
If a single candidate did not receive more than 50% of the overall vote in the primary, the two candidates with the highest percentages will compete in the runoff election. The candidate that receives the most votes wins the runoff.
Vote at your regular precinct. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
