Election Day: What you need to know
Voters must bring a valid photo ID and vote at their assigned precinct, while absentee ballots must arrive by 7 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, South Carolina voters head to the polls to decide key federal, state, and local races, including a U.S. Senate seat and the governorship.
State law mandates that voters present a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, while polls remain open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Officials strictly prohibit campaign apparel within 200 feet of polling sites, and state rules mandate mail-in absentee ballots be hand-delivered to county offices rather than taken to precincts.
Every precinct offers curbside voting for individuals with disabilities, and voters encountering issues may contact the State Election Commission or the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
Floridians also face three constitutional amendments on their ballots, including a Budget Stabilization Fund expansion and property tax exemptions taking effect in 2027.
