Be the First in the Nation to vote for the Biden-Harris Reelection! Starting today, early voting is open to all Charleston County voters in the First in the Nation Democratic Presidential Primary! Here are the details:
Early Voting Dates & Times: 8:30am-6:00pm, Monday Jan 22 through Friday Feb 2 (except CLOSED Sunday Jan 28).
Locations: All Charleston County voters can vote early at any of these locations:
- Charleston County Board of Elections (4340 Corporate Rd. North Charleston, SC 29405)
- Essex Village Church of Christ (736 Savage Rd Charleston, SC 29414)
- Wando Library (1400 Carolina Park Blvd Mount Pleasant, SC 29466)
Don’t Forget: State House District 109 Special Election!
In addition to the Presidential Primary, some Charleston County Democrats have a Democratic Primary for the Special Election in State House District 109 (portions of North Charleston along Dorchester Road – View Map HERE).
This seat was formerly held by now-State Senator Deon Tedder and the Special Election was triggered by his election to State Senate District 42 in November. Two Democrats have filed for the January 30 primary:
- Eduardo Curry II (www.eduardocurryii.com)
- Tiffany Spann-Wilder (www.spannwilder4sc109.com)
Election Day voting for the House 109 Primary will be 7am-7pm on Tuesday January 30th at your regular polling location
Early Voting for the House 109 Primary is Jan 16-26, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm, at the County Election Headquarters (4340 Corporate Rd. North Charleston 29405).
The winner of this primary will be the Democratic nominee in the (currently uncontested) April 2nd special election.
***Unfortunately, even though the dates, times, and early voting periods for this election are very similar to those of the Presidential Primary, state law prevents the two elections from appearing on the same ballot. So, Democratic Primary voters in House District 109 will have to vote two separate times between January 16 and February 3. Once in the State House Primary, and once in the Presidential Primary.
