Socastee area residents to vote in Horry District 6 runoff

A runiff election is set for Tuesday night to elect a new councilman in District 6 to replace Bob Grabowski, who committed suicide in March.

Two candidates – Kirk Hanna and Cam Crawford – will vie for the term, which expires in 2016. State law requires counties to allow a write-in general election, which is Aug. 4, before a candidate can take office.

Polls are open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
