HATTIESBURG, Miss. – An 18-year-old is expected to take office in January as Forrest County's next District 1 election commissioner.
Local media reports that teenager Tyler Wood beat out incumbent Charlie Phillips during the Tuesday balloting.
Wood, who's a student at Pearl River Community College in Hattiesburg, says he'll be up to the job despite his age. He says it's not about how old you are, it's about having the "integrity, the knowledge and the experience" to do the job.

Hopefully he’s conservative.
He is a Republican, so I don’t forsee any election fraud in Forrest County as long as he is in office.
I hope so.
Good for him. I’m sure his parents are so proud.
Some people know early in life that they want to serve the public in this manner. It could be that he has someone else in the family who has done this and inspired him.
Sometimes there is no family precedent. It just happens this way. Many of our early founders where barely out of college or the armed services.
