Tuesday, August 25, 2026, will see special runoff elections in three states ahead of the November election.
Today, voters in Georgia, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are participating in runoff elections that will help determine candidates for upcoming general elections and fill important public offices.
In South Carolina, voters are participating in a U.S. Senate runoff to determine which candidate will advance to the November general election. The special election process was initiated following the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, who represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for more than 20 years. The race has drawn significant national attention, and voters will consider who may ultimately succeed one of the state’s longest serving and most influential political leaders.
Georgia voters in the 13th Congressional District are participating in a special runoff election to fill the remainder of the term of Representative David Scott, who passed away earlier this year.
Oklahoma voters are participating in several statewide runoff elections, including races for governor and state superintendent. Voters are also considering two statewide ballot questions addressing public policy and election-related matters.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For candidates and their families as they await election results and prepare for the next steps in their campaigns and public service.
- For election officials, poll workers, and volunteers serving throughout the day to carry out their responsibilities with diligence, accuracy, and integrity.
- For citizens to be prayerful, informed, and prepared as they cast their ballots.
