Colleton voters need to be ready when they head to primary polls

Posted

The Democratic and Republican parties will hold primaries on Tuesday June 14. Any necessary runoffs will be held on Tuesday June 28.

The county voter registration and elections office will be open for in-person absentee voting during regular business hours and on Saturday June 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Voters will be asked to provide one of the following photo IDs at their polling place:

• S.C. Driver’s License

• ID Card issued by S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles

• S.C. Voter Registration Card with Photo

• Federal Military ID

• U.S. Passport

Voters should remember to bring one of these IDs with them to the polling place.

Voters without photo ID can get one free of charge from their county voter registration office or the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Voters who encounter an obstacle to getting a photo ID should bring their paper voter registration card without a photo 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 ID, visit scVOTES.gov or contact your county board of voter registration and elections.

At 9 a.m. on the day of the primaries and the day of any necessary runoffs, the county board of voter registration and elections will begin its examination of the absentee ballot return envelopes at the Colleton County Board of Voter Registration and Elections office at 2471 Jefferies Hwy, Walterboro, S.C. 29488. (843-549-2842)

At 11 a.m. on Thursday June 16 the county board of canvassers will hold a hearing to determine the validity of all provisional ballots cast in the primaries. At 11 a.m. on Thursday June 30 the county board of canvassers will hold a hearing to determine the validity of all provisional ballots cast in any necessary runoffs. These hearings will be held at the Colleton County Board of Voter Registration & Elections Office.

The following precincts and polling places will be open during the primaries and runoffs from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Polling places are subject to change under certain conditions. Voters can check their assigned polling place at scVOTES.gov before going to the polls on Election Day.
