At the Berkeley County level, Berkeley County Council seats (four-year staggered terms) will be contested in certain districts. One U.S. Senate seat will be on the ballot - South Carolina's U.S. Senate seats are currently held by Lindsey Graham (term expires 2026) and Tim Scott (term expires 2028), so the 2026 ballot will include the race for Graham's seat. Voters will also elect the South Carolina Superintendent of Education and Commissioner of Agriculture. Primary elections to determine party nominees will occur in June 2026.
