March 5, 2024 - Did you know all local Shelby County Races will be decided today in the March 5th Primary Election?
Once again, in the county races all candidates filed to run on the Republican ticket. This means the results will be decided now since only one candidate's name will be listed on the November 5th General Election ballot.
If you haven’t voted, polls will be open Tuesday from 7am to 7pm. (Click here for polling locations) Every vote counts especially in local elections! There are five races with opponents: County Attorney; Sheriff; Commissioner Precinct 3; Justice of the Peace Precinct 4; and Constable Precinct 3.
There is the potential for a runoff race for the Sheriff and the Constable Precinct 3 as both races have 3 candidates. Candidates must win more than 50 percent of the vote in order to win the election. If a runoff is needed, the Primary Election Runoff day is May 28, 2024.
Shelby County has six county offices unopposed: Tax Assessor-Collector; Commissioner Precinct 1; Constable Precinct 1; Constable Precinct 2; Constable Precinct 4; and Constable Precinct 5. Both County Chairs, Republican and Democratic, were unopposed.
Election results will be published on Shelby County Today after polls close and as results are made available. Early voting results are not available until after 7pm.
