If you're voting today, head to your assigned polling place, not one of the early voting sites. Election director Conway Belangia expects lines early in the morning and later in the evening. If you're in line at 7 p.m., he said, you'll get to cast your ballot.
- Photo ID: S.C. driver's license, DMV ID, passport or military ID
- Also accepted: photo voter registration card, concealed weapons permit
- No ballot selfies, and no campaign gear within 200 feet of the entrance
- Precinct locations change, so verify yours at scvotes.gov
FOX Carolina's Election Day guide lays out the ID and booth rules. Belangia also said to always check your paper ballot to make sure it lists the candidates you want.
Here's what to do if you hit a snag on Election Day
| If this happens | Do this |
|---|---|
| You forgot your photo ID | Sign an affidavit citing a reasonable impediment, then cast a provisional ballot |
| You have an absentee ballot | Hand-deliver it to your county election office by 7 p.m. |
| Your ballot looks wrong | Tell a poll worker |
| You're in line at 7 p.m. | Stay put; you can still vote |
