Early voting for the June 16, 2026 Primary Runoff Election will begin Monday, June 8, and continue through Friday, June 12, according to the Chattooga County Registrar’s Office.

Advance voting will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day at the Registrar’s Office located at 10017 Commerce Street in Summerville. Voters are reminded that a government-issued photo ID is required to cast a ballot.

As of 8:30 a.m. on June 4, election officials reported that 48 absentee-by-mail ballots had been issued, with no completed absentee ballots returned at that time.

The deadline to request an absentee-by-mail ballot for the June 16 Primary Runoff is Friday, June 5.

Voters will have either a Republican or Democratic ballot available, depending on which ballot they cast during the May 19 General Primary. Voters who cast a Republican ballot in the primary must vote a Republican ballot in the runoff, while those who cast a Democratic ballot must vote a Democratic ballot in the runoff.

Individuals who voted a nonpartisan ballot in the May 19 election, or who did not vote but were registered by April 20, may choose either a Republican or Democratic runoff ballot.

Election officials also noted that voters who registered in Chattooga County between April 21 and May 18 will receive a Federal Only ballot, which contains only federal races and does not include state contests.

Residents with questions about voting or registration should contact the Chattooga County Registrar’s Office.
