Advance voting for the May 24 general primary will continue through Friday at the Effingham County Board of Elections and Registration office and also at the Old Marlow Elementary School.

Polls will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. at 17 precincts across Effingham County for the general primary. Offices being contested in the primary are: state House of Representatives District 159, chief magistrate, Effingham County commission chairman at-large, Board of Education District 5 and Ogeechee Judicial Circuit Superior Court judge.

Running for county commission chairman are incumbent Wendall Kessler and former Rincon city manager Wesley Corbitt in the Republican primary.

Voters across the county also will vote between magistrate candidates Bryan Burgess, Scott Lewis and David Swords. Current magistrate judge Scott Hinson is not seeking re-election.

Effingham voters — along with those in Bulloch, Jenkins and Screven counties — will choose from among Martha Hall, Mickey Kicklighter and Michael Muldrew to replace retiring Judge John R. Turner.

Voters in the northern half of Effingham, and those in Screven, Jenkins and parts of Bulloch counties will vote for either incumbent Jon Burns or challenger Daniel Almond in the Republican primary for the House District 159 seat.

Incumbent Vickie Decker and challenger Delmons White are seeking the school board District 5 seat.

Several races are uncontested, including sheriff, tax commissioner, clerk of superior court, coroner, county commission districts 1 and 4 and school board districts 2 and 3.

Any runoffs needed after the May 24 primary will be held July 26, with early voting taking place July 5-22. Early voting for the runoff will not be conducted at the Old Marlow Elementary School.
