Advance voting

Advance voting is held at each county’s elections office and begins Monday, July 28 for the runoff. At the elections office, you must fill out an application and provide one of the permitted forms of identification. You will then be issued a ballot that must be filled out and cast while you are in the office.

Registration: If you were not registered for the July 15 primary, you are not eligible to vote in the runoff. You also must vote for the same party's candidates you chose in the primary. If you did not vote in the primary and are registered, you may vote in the runoff for the party of your choice.
