Bill > S0468

This bill amends South Carolina election law by modifying the rules for pooling precincts in municipal elections. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum number of registered voters allowed in pooled precincts for both general and primary municipal elections. For municipal general elections, the maximum number of registered voters in a group of pooled precincts is raised from 1,500 to 3,000. For municipal primary elections, the maximum number of registered voters in a group of pooled precincts is increased from 3,000 to 5,000. Pooling precincts is a practice that allows multiple voting precincts to combine their polling locations, which can help reduce election administration costs and potentially improve voter convenience. The bill will take effect upon receiving the Governor's approval, and it represents a technical adjustment to existing election law that provides more flexibility for municipalities in managing their voting locations.
