Early Voting Now in Effect in South Carolina
COLUMBIA, SC (May 13, 2022) – Governor McMaster, on Friday, May 13, 2022, signed into law legislation passed by the General Assembly that establishes early voting in South Carolina. Any voter can visit an early-voting location in their county and vote like they would at their polling place on Election Day.
SC Voters have three methods of voting in any election:
- Absentee ( BY- MAIL ONLY ) - Last day to request an absentee by mail ballot is 5pm on the 11th day before the election.
- Early Voting - Begins two weeks prior to Election Day at Early Voting Locations
- Election Day - From 7am to 7pm at your registered polling location.
SC Notary Public
To become a SC Notary Public, you will need yourVoter Registration Number:
- Check Your Voter Registration from SCVOTES.GOV.
- The Certificate Number is your Voter Registration Number.
- Additionally, your name and address on your Voter Registration must match your Notary Application.
Requirements to Challenge a Ballot
Poll managers, any voter, and any qualified watcher may challenge the vote of a person who may be known or suspected not to be a qualified voter. A challenge may also be made if you have good reason to believe the person has already voted or has become disqualified for any cause. Challenges of ballots cast in person in the absentee precinct and at the polling place on election day must be made prior to the voter casting the ballot. No challenges can be made after that time. All challenges must be addressed to poll managers and not directly to voters. Challenges of absentee by mail ballots must be made prior to separating the ballot from absentee return envelope, which can begin as early as 9:00 a.m. on the day preceding the election. Challenges in the absentee precinct are very rare because the voter has the opportunity to make address changes or otherwise correct his voting record with election officials before casting an absentee ballot. If a challenged voter casts a provisional ballot, the challenger must appear or produce evidence at the provisional ballot hearing to sustain the challenge; otherwise, the ballot will be counted.
