York County officials: Voters should update addresses before going to the polls

To help make Election Day run as smoothly as possible, York County officials are asking voters to review and/or update their registration information before Oct. 26.

To do so, voters can visit scvotes.org. If any information is incorrect, voters can update their information online or by sending an email to elections@yorkcountygov.com.

Voters can also visit either the temporary absentee Rock Hill office at City Hall on 155 Johnston St. or the permanent York office at 13 South Congress Street.

Voters may vote absente before the Nov. 8 General Election for one of 17 reasons, including being 65 years or older, disabled, attending to someone disabled, or unable to vote on Election Day due to employment or vacation.

For a complete list of the reasons for voting absentee, visit scvotes.org.

Voters need to bring an acceptable photo ID, which includes either an S.C. driver’s license, an S.C. ID issued by the DMV, a military ID, a U.S. passport, or a voter registration card with a photo.

The S.C. Election Commission offers a free app for download from the Google Play store or the Apple Store, called “my SCVotes.”

The app allows voters to check their their voter registration, find directions to their precinct, update their address, and view their sample ballot.
