Watch the short video below for a quick & easy tutorial on how to check your voter registration information.

Register to Vote

If you’re not registered to vote in SC, the good people at SCVotes.org have put together a great site with all of the information you need. Click on Voters and then Register to Vote for the various ways (including online) that you can register and ensure your ability to participate in the next election.

Absentee Voting

There are a limited number of reasons for which you may request an Absentee ballot. You can read about these reasons and fill out an online form to help you get a ballot at VoteBlueSC.com. But do so as early as possible to ensure you get one in time!

See our post: “I just requested an Absentee Ballot and you should too!” for a step-by-step walkthrough.

As of May 12, 2020, No-Excuse Absentee voting has been authorized in South Carolina for the June 9 Primary (and any subsequent runoffs). That means you do not need to provide an “excuse” to request an Absentee ballot. Anyone who asks will get one. But you should ask soon!
