Bill Summary

Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 7-13-25, Relating To Early Voting, So As To Require Separate Ballot Boxes For Each Individual Day Of Early Voting.

AI Summary

This bill amends the South Carolina election code to modify requirements for early voting ballot boxes. Specifically, the legislation mandates that each early voting center must use separate ballot boxes for each individual day of early voting. These ballot boxes must be sealed at the end of each day's voting period and remain sealed until the polls close on election day. Additionally, the bill requires that each early voting center have available every ballot style used in the county for that particular election. The purpose appears to be to enhance the security and tracking of early voting ballots by creating a more granular method of storing and managing ballots cast on different days during the early voting period. The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, which means it could potentially impact the procedures for the next election cycle after its enactment.
