Take Note Before You Vote

voting machine

South Carolina voters will use a new voting machine in the democratic primary on February 29, 2020. The South Carolina Election Commission converted to a paper-based system. It is similar to the machines used in past elections, but there are a few differences. We have partnered with the Commission to create a short video to walk you through the process. Watch it and get prepared for election day.
