Some York County voting sites have moved before June 20 election

Several York County polling places have moved or will be moving before two local elections on June 20, said Beth Covington with the York County Board of Voter Registration and Elections.

Covington also announced Monday that the voter registration office will host several days of absentee voting this week.

Absentee voting is available for the special election for South Carolina’s 5th Congressional seat and for S.C. House Seat 48. Sample ballots are available at the link here.

The congressional race includes Republican Ralph Norman squaring off against Democrat challenger Archie Parnell. Parnell and Norman are vying for the congressional seat left vacant when U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-Indian Land, resigned to become President Donald Trump’s budget director.

Meanwhile, Republican Bruce Bryant and Democrat Bebs Barron Chorak are campaigning for House 48 in the S.C. General Assembly. The election was triggered after Norman resigned to run for Congress.

All polling locations will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Election Day.

To absentee vote in York County, registered voters can cast ballots during these days and times at 13 S. Congress St. in York:

▪  8 a.m.-5 p.m. June 12-16, June 19
