Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 5) is less than a month away, and we have a feeling the polls will be busy. The good news: South Carolina residents can take advantage of early voting during a presidential election for the first time ever. If you’re a registered voter in Rock Hill, SC, this is a great way to beat the crowds and avoid last-minute delays on Election Day.

Psst... If you live in North Carolina, you’re eligible to vote early, too. Learn more.

When to vote early

  • Early voting in South Carolina is happening now; it started on Monday, Oct. 21.
  • Early voting ends on Saturday, Nov. 2.

Where to vote

Every county in South Carolina will have at least one early voting center. Find out where to go using the list of early voting locations in your county for the 2024 General Election.

Voting hours

  • You can vote Mondays through Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Early voting is closed on Sunday, Oct. 27.

What to expect

When you vote early, make sure to bring a valid photo ID. You’ll use the same voting machines that are used on election day, and your early vote will be counted just like the ones cast on Nov. 5. However, there won’t be any early election results announced, so you’ll still need to wait for the final count.
