Three contests will return to the polls on Aug. 29 for the Lincoln County Primary Runoff Election.

Now that Primary Election results have been certified by the Secretary of State’s Office — Tuesday, Aug. 15 — the only offices requiring runoffs are one constable and two supervisors. All runoffs are on the Republican ticket.

For Justice Court Constable Post 2, incumbent constable W. Lavon Boyd will face challenger Wade Hinshaw, a Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy. Boyd received 37% of the Primary vote. Hinshaw received 44%.

In Supervisor District 2, incumbent Jerry McGehee will face challenger Keith Lewis, the city’s director of public works. In the Primary, McGehee took 45% of the vote and Lewis took 38%.

In District 3, John David Hart and Ricky Wayne Nations will vie for the seat to be vacated upon Nolan Williamson’s retirement. Hart took 37% and Nations took 43% in the Primary.

Voters who cast Democratic ballots will not vote in the Primary Runoff.

Voters who cast Republican ballots in the Primary — or who did not vote at all — and who live in Lincoln County Supervisor District 2 or 3 can participate, or in Judicial Court District 2, which overlaps much of the two supervisor districts.

Polls will be open 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 29.
