SC’s first no-excuse-needed early voting a success, election officials say

South Carolina’s election officials say the first no-excuse voting in the state was a success. Officials with the State Election Commission said more than 125,000 South Carolinians cast their ballots during the early voting periods prior to the June primaries and the follow-up runoffs. Early voters made up 16% of the nearly 800,000 ballots cast. “The June primaries and runoffs were an unqualified success. I can’t say enough about the dedication of our poll managers and workers who serve on the front lines of our elections and play a vital role in conducting secure and accessible elections,” said Howie Knapp, Executive Director of the South Carolina State Election Commission.
