The General Election for federal, state, county, and other local offices will be held on Tuesday, November 3. Any person wishing to vote in this election must register no later than Sunday, October 4. Voter registration by mail forms will be accepted if postmarked by Monday, October 5.
The early voting period for the election begins on Monday, October 19, and ends on Saturday, October 31. The following early voting centers will be open during the early voting period from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday (closed Sunday):

Voters will be asked to provide one of the following forms of Photo IDs when voting in person.

S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles ID Card
Includes standard ID card and REAL ID
Includes SC Concealed Weapons Permit
S.C Voter Registration Card with Photo
Federal Military ID

If you have one of these forms of Photo ID and it is valid and unexpired, you are ready to vote. Voters should remember to bring one of these forms of identification with them to the polling place. Voters without Photo ID can get one free of charge from the Department of Motor Vehicles or their county voter registration office. Voters who encounter an obstacle to getting a Photo ID should bring their paper voter registration card without a photo with them to their polling place. These voters can then sign an affidavit swearing to their identity and to their obstacle to obtaining a Photo ID and vote a provisional ballot. This ballot will count unless the County Board of Voter Registration and Elections has grounds to believe the affidavit is false. For more information on Photo IDs, visit scVOTES.gov or contact your county board of voter registration and elections.
