Early Voting in Runoff Ends Today

The winner will sit on the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners.

 

Early voting for the Aug. 21 runoff between Post 2 Commissioner Jim Hubbard and former Cherokee County Fire Chief Ray Gunnin begins today.

From noon to 5 p.m. today, cast your ballot at the Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration Office, 400 E. Main St., Canton. While early voting will continue through Friday at the same location, the hours will change starting on Tuesday.

Polls will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

Gunnin received 21 more votes than Woodstock attorney Channing Ruskell during the July 31 primary, enough to keep his campaign alive for the runoff with Hubbard.

Ruskell last week requested a recount. The results did not change.

Gunnin and Hubbard will go head-to-head at 7 p.m. tonight during a debate at the Cherokee County Republican headquarters, 1428 Towne Lake Pkwy., Towne Lake.
