Election day is Tuesday for the Beaufort mayoral contest featuring Phil Cromer and Mike Sutton.

The winner of the special election between Cromer and Sutton will serve through November 2024. That’s when former Mayor Stephen Murray’s term expires. Murray resigned in September, prompting the special election to fill the remainder of his 4-year term.

Five polling locations will be open for voting from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Some of the usual polling locations have changed for this special election.

Here’s where to vote:

▪ Precincts Beaufort 1, Beaufort 2 and Beaufort 3: Charles L. Brown Activity Center, 1001 Hamar St.

▪ Burton 2C: Love House Ministries, 423 Parris Island Gateway.

▪ Mossy Oaks 1A, Mossy Oaks 1B and Mossy Oaks 2, Beaufort Middle School Gymnasium, 2501 Mossy Oaks Road.
