With three statewide and three congressional party nominations up for grabs, Palmetto State voters have strong incentives to return to the polls for runoff elections on June 23 — but those looking to take advantage of early voting options need to act soon.
Due to the Juneteenth holiday on June 19, in-person early voting will be limited to two days — Wednesday, June 17, and Thursday, June 18 — from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Those wishing to vote absentee must have their ballots in by 7 p.m. on June 23.

In addition the GOP governor’s runoff between Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and state Attorney General Alan Wilson, Republicans will pick final winners in the S.C. attorney general’s race between Georgetown Sen. Stephen Goldfinch against 8th Circuit Solicitor David Stumbo and the Agriculture Commissioner contest that pits Cody Simpson against Danny Ford II.
Meanwhile, Republicans in the 1st Congressional District will settle a race between Berkeley County Rep. Mark Smith and Charleston County Councilwoman Jenny Honeycutt.
On the Democratic side, there are no statewide runoffs. But 1st Congressional District voters will choose between retired Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore and Coast Guard veteran and attorney Mac Deford, while 2nd District voters will choose either David Robinson II or Zyon Khalifa, both military veterans, to take on incumbent GOP Rep. Joe Wilson, who happens to be Alan Wilson’s father.
All valid S.C. voters who did not participate in the other party’s primary on June 9 are eligible to vote in the runoff primaries.
