South Carolina Senate President Harvey S. Peeler, Jr., announced that the Senate will return to Session on Wednesday, September 2nd.
The Senate plans to consider updates to our election laws that will allow citizens to vote safely and securely this November.
“If the COVID-19 pandemic is still prevalent in our State, the Senate must make plans to protect the voter and the vote,” said Peeler. “We don’t know what the situation will be like in November, but we need to prepare for safe and secure voting.”
“In May, the General Assembly addressed these issues for the primary elections in record time by working together in a bipartisan manner,” Peeler added. "I am hopeful we can do it again and return later in September to address the remaining legislative business.”
