The Anderson County Election Commission is experiencing technical difficulties with the voting totals that would ordinarily be displaying on its website.
Voting closed at 8 p.m. today in the Democratic and Republican primaries. Some voting totals were initially displaying on the website, although the early voting results were not. However, no results were displaying at about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The Election Commission said it is working to resolve the issue and hopes to have results posted soon.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
As represented by three signs here, the Anderson County primary election includes three candidates for mayor, the incumbent, Terry Frank, left; her Republican opponent, Commissioner Zach Bates, right; and Democrat Jim Hackworth, center, a former state representative.
Early voting started Wednesday in Anderson County, and close to 800 residents cast ballots in the first two days, according to WYSH Radio in Clinton.
The early voting is for the May 6 Democratic and Republican primaries in Anderson County.
WYSH said 410 people voted Wednesday, and 378 voted Thursday. The two-day total was 788.
The Republican primary has been more popular, with 645 votes cast so far. That primary features four contested races: mayor, sheriff, chancellor, and juvenile court judge. About 82 percent of the ballots cast have been in the GOP primary.
There is only one contested race in the Democratic primary, and that’s for juvenile court judge. One hundred forty-three voters, or about 18 percent of them, cast ballots in the Democratic primary on Wednesday and Thursday, WYSH said. [Read more…]
