Early Voting Begins Wednesday for SC Runoff Elections: What to Know
Registered voters can cast ballots for two days before June 23 runoff elections, including a Republican governor race that forced a second round.
- South Carolina voters are participating in two days of early voting for the June 23 primary runoffs, with polling sites open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. through today, June 18.

- The gubernatorial runoff features Pamela Evette, attorney general nominee, against Attorney General Alan Wilson. SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick said this is "one of the most important decisions our primary voters have made in over 16 years."
- Beyond the governor's race, voters will settle the 1st Congressional District nomination and local council seats. Democrats will choose between Nancy Lacore and Mac Deford, while Republicans hold attorney general and agriculture commissioner runoffs.
- Voters returning to the polls on June 23 must bring a photo ID, with polling sites open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The South Carolina State Election Commission provides registration status information at SCVotes.gov.
