Polling locations and voting dates have been established for the upcoming July 14 run-off elections for Liberty County. Republican voters will determine the winners of four local races and a justice on the 9th Court of Criminal Appeals. Democratic voters will decide on their candidates for U.S. senator and Railroad Commissioner.
