Early voting for five primary runoff elections in southern Denton County begins on Monday.

Races headed to a runoff include: County Commissioner Precinct 4 (R), District Clerk (R), Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 (R), Justice of the Peace Precinct 4 (R), and State Representative District 64 (D).

Edmondson led the Denton County Republican Party for 14 years prior to retiring in 2016. Carter served as Precinct 4 Commissioner from 1999 to 2006 and is backed by outgoing Precinct 4 Commissioner Andy Eads, who is running for County Judge.

Early voting for the primary runoffs will take place from May 14 through May 18. Election Day is Tuesday, May 22.
