Advance in-person voting in the upcoming Republican Runoff election starts next Monday, July 20th. 

Chattooga County voters will be choosing Republican candidates for two local offices: Chattooga County Commissioner and Chattooga County Probate Judge.  Blake Elsberry received the most votes in the June Primary, besting incumbent Commissioner Jason Winters by just two votes.  Neither candidate achieved 51% of the vote.  In the probated judge race, Gary Woods received the most votes, but didn’t get to the 51% threshold.  He will be facing off against Teresa Pope.

The Republican Commissioner candidate will be facing off against Jimmy Holbrook (D) in the General Election in November.  The winner of the Republican runoff for probate judge will be facing a challenge from Holley Strawn Gilliland, who is running as an Independent.

In-person advanced voting will take place at the Chattooga County Registrar Office on Commerce Street in Summerville beginning next Monday.  The runoff election will be held Tuesday, August 11th.
