South Carolina Republicans vote Tuesday in fourth contest to fill late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s seat

A special U.S. Senate election nomination process in South Carolina returns to the polls Tuesday, with Republicans choosing a runoff winner after multiple primary rounds held since June for the seat vacated by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.

South Carolina Republicans will return to the polls Tuesday for a special U.S. Senate GOP primary runoff that is part of a multi-stage process set in motion after the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose seat is slated to appear on the fall general election ballot, according to PBS NewsHour Politics. The runoff is the fourth time South Carolina Republicans have voted on the nomination since June, reflecting the state’s back-to-back primary schedule for selecting a nominee to advance to the November general election. The runoff winner will be the Republican nominee for the seat that will be contested in the fall, PBS reported in its live results coverage. In the interim, South Carolina’s process has continued through successive primary contests since June, with the runoff serving as the final primary step before the fall general election. The question for Tuesday’s voting is which GOP candidate will emerge from the runoff field and carry the party’s nomination into the general election. The runoff comes as voters in one state decide the party’s choice for a federal seat that had been held by Graham. Because the seat is being filled through a special election, the timing and administration of the nomination process affect what happens next for the fall contest, including ballot preparation and the sequence of election-related filings. While Democrats and other parties are not the subject of Tuesday’s voting, the nomination outcome determines the GOP standard-bearer for the general election matchup, shaping which candidate the state’s Republican Party will put forward. The fall election ballot contest, in turn, determines who will represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for the remainder of the term. PBS’s Tuesday coverage is focused on live results from the runoff, with the outcome expected to conclude the special GOP nomination process. Any delays, contested results, or certification steps would follow state election procedures once voting ends.

Why It Matters

  • The runoff determines which Republican nominee advances to the fall general election for the remainder of the special Senate election timeline.
  • Because the nomination process has required multiple primary rounds since June, Tuesday’s result concludes the GOP selection stage before ballots are finalized for the general election.
  • The outcome affects federal representation for South Carolina and influences which candidate voters will have in the fall.
  • The timing and certification of runoff results can affect downstream election administration steps, including general election ballot preparation.
