Election date

November 3, 2026 · General election

The Lexington County Council District 7 general election in Lexington County, South Carolina is on November 3, 2026. One candidate is on the ballot, Jason Guerry (Republican), so the race is uncontested. One vote here carries below average weight compared with other races.

This seat represents District 7, not the whole district above. We can’t match an address to an area this small, so this race may not be on your ballot.

How do we calculate my vote power?

What determines the vote power rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus whether more candidates are running than there are seats.

Representation: Above average · 63 out of 100

This district is a good deal smaller than its state, so each vote here carries more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 304,887 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,296,225 ÷ 304,887) ÷ ln(50,000) = 63.19, measured against a statewide vote in SC (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)

Decisiveness: None · only 1 candidate

One candidate is running unopposed, so votes can't change the outcome.
