South Carolina’s Election Commission and the League of Women Voters are using social media such as Facebook to make sure people have as much information as possible about how, when and where to vote.

SC Votes has flooded social media with the accurate, nonpartisan information.

Lawmakers passed a bill last month to allow absentee voting for any reason.

Since the governor signed the bill, the courts have approved the requirement of a witness signature. This has led to confusion about voter requirements.

That’s why this social media-driven campaign is so important.

Voters need trusted bipartisan organizations to help them know how to cast early ballots, where to vote, and how to obtain and return an absentee ballot.

This social media presence makes it easier than ever for voters to learn more about what they need to do in the most important election of our lifetime using SC Votes.

Using Facebook chat, you can ask questions. Videos demonstrate how to use the machines if you vote in-person.
