SC's primary elections not over just yet. What to know about the June 25 runoffs

Last week more than 238,000 people voted early across South Carolina and nearly 38,000 mail-in absentee ballots were returned. This is the first general election in our state with early voting thanks to the massive bi partisan election integrity bill Republican and Democratic lawmakers passed in May.

Last week more than 238,000 people voted early across South Carolina and nearly 38,000 mail-in absentee ballots were returned. This is the first general election in our state with early voting thanks to the massive bi partisan election integrity bill Republican and Democratic lawmakers passed in May.

Early voting in the June 25 runoffs opens from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 19, to Friday, June 21.

South Carolina's primary election cycle isn't over just yet.

One Upstate congressional race is headed to a June 25 runoff. So are a handful of races for state House of Representatives and Senate seats. There also are runoffs in several local races.

South Carolinians who voted in the June 11 primary elections can vote next week, but can only vote in the same party's runoff. Voters who did not cast a ballot last week are not limited to political party in the runoffs.

Early voting in the June 25 runoffs opens from 8:30 a.m. to 5p.m. Wednesday to Friday.

The deadline to return an absentee ballot application already passed. Once a ballot is received in the mail, it must be completed and returned to the county voter registration office by mail or in person no later than 7 p.m. June 25. (The ballot must be signed by the voter and the return envelope witnessed.)

Sample ballots can be found on scvotes.gov.

Polls will open June 25 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Polling precincts can be found on the State Election Commission's website.
