Bill > S0582

This bill ratifies a constitutional amendment to Section 4, Article II of the South Carolina Constitution regarding voter qualifications. The amendment specifies that only United States citizens who are residents of South Carolina, are at least 18 years old, and have properly registered to vote will be entitled to vote in state elections. The proposed language was first submitted to voters during the 2024 General Election, where it received a favorable vote. By ratifying this amendment, the bill formally incorporates the new voter qualification language into the state's constitution, formally codifying the existing requirements for voting eligibility. This amendment serves to clearly define and reinforce the existing voter qualifications, ensuring that only eligible citizens can participate in the state's electoral process.
