NEWTON COUNTY – Coming up this Tuesday, June 18 is the runoff election in Newton County.

Two seats are up for grabs, as both the District 3 commissioner race and the tax commissioner race did not have a candidate to reach the needed 50 percent mark during the May 21 general primary election.

The two candidates for District 3 are incumbent Alana Sanders and Stephanie R. Lindsey. 

For tax commissioner, the two candidates are Brent Bennett and Avis Williams.

Since neither race had a Republican candidate, the winners of this runoff election will be the presumptive winners of their respective races.

All 19 voting precincts will be open on election day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
