The runoff election is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23.
What is a runoff election?
Runoffs are held in South Carolina when one candidate doesn’t receive a majority, or one more vote than 50%, in an initial election.
The two candidates that received the most votes in the primary election make the runoff. The runoff winners will become the party nominees in November.
Who can vote in a runoff election?
Whether you can participate in the June runoffs depends on which party you voted for in the primary elections.
If someone chose a Democratic ballot in the initial primary election, they cannot vote in the Republican runoff June 23. The reverse is also true. Republican primary voters cannot choose a Democratic ballot in the runoffs.
Registered voters who did not participate in the primary election can vote in runoffs.
Which statewide, congressional candidates are on the ballot?
Several statewide races will be on runoff ballots June 23.
Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson beat back several candidates to advance to the Republican governor race runoff. A final state GOP-sponsored debate for the governors race is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 16 in Conway. Evette and Wilson are both expected at the televised debate.
