COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina voters are returning to the polls to settle runoffs for party nominations in 13 General Assembly districts.
There are six state Senate primaries being decided Tuesday, including three involving incumbents, as well as seven state House primaries. There are no statewide races.CLICK HERE for Election Results
Candidates needed 50 percent plus one vote during the June 14 primary to avoid a runoff.
The polls are open until 7 p.m. and voters should not have to wait for long.
About 14 percent of the state’s 3 million registered voters cast ballots two weeks ago and runoffs generally see fewer voters at the polls. In 2014, only about 6 percent of registered voters cast ballots during the runoffs when there were several statewide contests to be settled.
