Three local races — including both school board seats and one County Commission post — are headed for an Aug. 8 runoff to determine the victor.

None of the candidates in those races received a majority of the vote. A similar situation occurred with the race for the District 28 state Senate seat, also forcing a runoff.

Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as in the General Primary balloting.

Since all the candidates involved in the runoff are Republican, anyone who voted with a Democratic ballot in the July 18 General Primary cannot vote in the runoff.

But the runoff will be open to those who voted Republican last week, and also those who were eligible to vote Tuesday but chose not to.
