Early voting to begin for runoff mayoral election

JACKSON, Tenn.– Madison County voters will hit the polls once again to pick a new mayor for the Hub City.

The runoff election will be between Scott Conger and Dr. Jerry Woods, the top two candidates with the most votes from the May election.

In the first election, Conger received 34 percent of the votes while Woods received 27 percent.

Kim Buckley, an administrator for elections of Madison County, gives voters information on how to be ready for early voting.

“Anyone who is a registered voter in the city of Jackson is eligible to vote in the city of Jackson,” Buckley said.

The only location community members can vote early is at the Madison County Agriculture Complex on North Parkway.

“Our hours are 9 a.m to 4 p.m. each week day, and from 9 a.m to 12 p.m. each Saturday,” Buckley said.
