Please share this information about the upcoming runoff elections.

Attention Charleston County voters:

We are sharing key details on upcoming runoff elections for some voters to determine party nominees across several races. The following contests will appear on runoff election ballots:

Democratic
• U.S. House of Representatives, District 1

Republican
• Governor
• Attorney General
• Commissioner of Agriculture
• U.S. House of Representatives, District 1

The following voter registration deadlines remain in place for the runoff elections:
• In person: Friday, May 8, 2026 by 5 p.m.
• Online/E-mail/Fax: Sunday, May 10, 2026 by 11:59 p.m.
• Mail (Postmark): Monday, May 11, 2026

Key reminders:
• South Carolina does not register voters by party.
• Voting in one party’s primary does not tie a voter to that party in the General Election. HOWEVER, voters who participate in a party’s primary and want to vote in a runoff election must continue with
the same party.
• Citizens who did not vote in either primary, but who were eligible to participate, may choose to vote in one party’s runoff.

Thank you for being engaged in the electoral process.
