Early/advanced voting will continue the week of Monday, Oct. 27. Residents can vote from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 27 through Friday, Oct. 31 at those five previously mentioned locations.

No voting will take place on Nov. 3 and all county precincts will open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4 for the general election.

Along with the race for governor, state schools superintendent and a U.S. Senate seat, Woodstock and Towne Lake voters will also elect their next Cherokee County Commission chair. Residents will choose between incumbent Republican Buzz Ahrens and Independent challenger Carolyn Cosby.

The runoff date for state and local general election is set for Dec. 2 while any federal runoff election would be held on Jan. 6, 2015.
