A media release from the South Carolina Election Commission Tuesday said more than 125,000 voters turned out to cast their ballot on the first day of early voting, nearly doubling the previous one-day record for early voting set in the 2022 General Election.
Howie Knapp, Executive Director of the State Election Commission said "We are thrilled to see voters embracing the convenience of early voting, and we are anticipating a significant turnout for this election".
The SEC is reminding any voter who hasn’t yet voted that they can visit an early center in their county during the early voting period and vote in person like they would at their polling place on election day.
Early voting is available from 8:30AM to 6PM, now through Saturday, November 2, but it is not available this Sunday.
