Elections officials are gearing up for the second of three 2022 elections. On July 26, voters will cast their ballots for the Jackson County Board of Education race, choosing between newcomer Lisa Buchanan or incumbent Abigail Clayton. The seat would have been decided during the May 17 primary, but in the District 2 race neither candidate reached the 50 percent-plus-one-vote threshold setting up a runoff in the school board races. All 13 polling sites in the county will be open on July 26. The county Board of Elections’ Skyland Drive office will be the only early voting site. Early voting got underway Thursday [July 7] and will run through July 22.
