Absentee Voting underway in SC

South Carolina voters can now cast in-person absentee ballots for the Nov. 6, general election, reports the Associated Press. The process started on Monday. The state does not allow no-excuses early voting. But someone who is working, will be out of town, or is physically unable to go to the polls can qualify for an absentee ballot. Machines will be set up in the office of each county election board. Absentee ballots can be cast through Nov. 5, the day before the election. Last week, a court extended the deadline for voters to register before November’s elections until Oct. 17, after Hurricane Florence disrupted the state. All registration applications must now be received or postmarked by that date.
