On June 16, a General Primary Runoff will be held. The runoff will be for those races from the May 19 General Primary in which no candidate received a majority of votes cast.

Ballot Choices

A voter’s ballot choice in this Runoff is dependent on their ballot type choice in the May 19 General Primary:

• Voters who chose a Democratic ballot in the general primary can only vote a Democratic ballot in the primary runoff.
• Voters who chose a Republican ballot in the general primary can only vote a Republican ballot in the primary runoff.
• Eligible voters who did not vote in the general primary or who voted a Nonpartisan ballot can choose a Democratic or Republican ballot in the primary runoff.

Eligible voters have three options for casting their ballot in the runoff.

Absentee Voting by Mail

Voters unable to vote in person can request an absentee ballot be mailed to them. Forsyth County registered voters can apply for an absentee ballot online, by mail or by emailing a scanned copy of their signed application to the Voter Registrations & Elections Office at absentee@forsythco.com. The last day to submit an absentee ballot application to the Voter Registrations & Elections Office for this election is Friday, June 5. Due to the short processing time for absentee by mail ballots, voted absentee ballots should be returned as soon as they are voted. Voted absentee ballots must be returned in person or by mail to the Voter Registrations & Elections Office no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. The postmark date does NOT count.
