How to Vote Using South Carolina’s
New Voting Machines
This helpful video explains how to use the new machine. All screens will be disinfected before and after each voter.
Additional info for voting procedures with new voting machines
These are the procedures you will follow:
All screens will be disinfected before each voter votes.
When you check-in to vote, the poll manager will ask for your photo ID and ask you to verify your home address (your ID does not need to show your current address).
A poll manager will give you a blank piece of paper to insert into the machine when you vote.
A poll worker will go to the machine with you and select the ballot for your districts (voters in different districts or areas have different ballots).
Insert the blank paper into the machine, with the cut corner inserted first.
Vote for the candidates of your choice the same way you voted on machines in the past, by pressing the box next to the candidate’s name, or the straight party if you choose.
If you vote for the party selection at the beginning of your ballot, you may change your vote for any individual candidate.
There will be several screens to move through in order to voter your entire ballot. When you have voted on the screen you see, press NEXT at the bottom of the screen to move on to the next candidates.
At the end of the ballot, you will have a chance to review all the selections you have made. (You are not required to vote in every election, but make sure that you have voted in every race you care to). If you want to vote in an election you have skipped or want to change your vote, press that box, and you will return to that election screen. Make your selection and press NEXT.
After reviewing your candidate selections, press NEXT. You will now press the PRINT CARD box, and your printed ballot will come out of the machine, but you ARE NOT FINISHED voting!
When your card is printed, make sure that the candidates you want to vote for are listed on the card. If you need to change your vote, or you believe that you should have been able to vote in another district, contact the poll manager now.
Take your card to the scanner (vote counting machine) and insert it where you see the green arrow. It does not matter which way you insert your ballot, but we suggest placing it with the printed side down, and the corner cut end inserted first.
If at any time you believe that you have been given the wrong ballot, let the poll manager know as soon as possible, before you insert the printed ballot into the scanner.
Voting by Mail
Absentee ballots that are mailed in, or hand delivered, must have a witness signature on them. Anyone, including a spouse, friend or a child, can witness and sign the voter mail-in envelope. Please make sure you have a witness sign your absentee ballot before you mail or hand deliver it. Your vote counts!
*Ballots cast before the Oct. 5th Supreme Court ruling and received within two days (October 7th) of this order may not be rejected for failing to comply with the witness requirement.
