Important Polling Location Updates for Newberry County’s 2026 Primary RUNOFF Election – For Candidate Information
Due to unforeseen conflicts or challenges at official locations, some polling locations in Newberry County have been temporarily relocated for the 2026 Statewide Primaries (RUNOFF). While our office typically notifies affected voters via USPS postcard, current limitations preclude this method of notification.
Polling location changes occurring within seven days of an election or primary are considered emergency relocations. In accordance with South Carolina Code of Laws § 7-7-910, this office has provided notice to the State Election Commission and the Newberry County Delegation regarding these polling location adjustments. To ensure voter access and transparency, we are disseminating information through multiple channels:
- Agency Website: https://www.newberrycounty.gov/
- Signage: Prominently displayed at the affected facilities prior to June 23rd.
A full listing of all Newberry County polling locations, current as of June 16, 2026, is attached for your reference. Please direct any voter inquiries regarding location changes to these resources.
