Voters will choose a GOP candidate Tuesday to fill the South Carolina Senate District 4 seat left vacant by the late South Carolina Senator Billy O’Dell. 
S.C. Dist. 4 Voting District
Five GOP candidates are vying for the post which covers parts of three counties including Anderson, Abbeville and Greenwood. Currently no Democrat has announced plans to seek the position, meaning the winner is likely to be the only candidate for the May 17 special election.
Retired Anderson City Transportation Director Willie Day, Businessman and Williamston Town Councilman Rockey Burgess, S.C. Rep. Mike Gambrell, Greenwood City Attorney Tripp Padgett and Williamston Resident Mark Powell are all seeking to fill the seat.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday at four precincts in Abbeville County, nine precincts in Greenwood County and 41 precincts in Anderson County.
