CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- The 2024 general election is quickly approaching, but South Carolina voters will not have to wait until Election Day to cast a ballot. Governor Henry McMaster signed a law in May 2022 that replaces in-person absentee voting with an early in-person voting period for the two weeks leading up to election days. Any registered voter, including those who will be 18 years old by the Nov. 5 general election, can cast a ballot during the early voting period without an excuse. Early voting for the 2024 election begins on Monday, October 21, and ends on Saturday, Nov. 2. Here's what voters need to know: What races are on the ballot? The ballot will include seven candidates for president, according to officials: Constitution Party – Randall A. Terry Workers’ Party – Claudia De La Cruz Democratic Party – Kamala D. Harris Libertarian Party – Chase Oliver Green Party – Jill Stein Republican Party – Donald J. Trump United Citizens Party – Cornel West An eighth candidate — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — was initially nominated by the South Carolina Alliance Party. However, party leaders withdrew him from the ballot in August after he suspended his presidential campaign. Additionally, each of South Carolina’s seven U.S. House of Representatives seats is up for election. All 170 seats in the South Carolina state legislature — 124 in the House and 46 in the Senate — are also up for grabs this year. Some are uncontested, however. Some ballots will also include races for county sheriff, circuit solicitor, probate judge, coroner, school board, and other countywide and local races. Voters can find out who is on the ballot where they live by obtaining a sample ballot from the South Carolina Election Commission. Which State House district do I live in? South Carolina adopted new state legislative district maps in December 2021 following the 2020 U.S. Census. Some district lines were redrawn, new districts were created, and some districts were eliminated. Voters can find out which district they live in on the South Carolina legislature’s website. Where can I vote early? Each county in South Carolina is required to have at least one polling location open for early voting. Some larger counties may have multiple open locations while smaller counties may have just one early voting site. Early voting centers are open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the early voting period. Early voting is not available on Sunday, Oct. 27.
