Hi South Carolina!

0:00:05.184,0:00:07.794
If you want to vote [br]first you need to get registered

0:00:07.794,0:00:09.567
If you’re not sure whether [br]you’re registered yet

0:00:09.567,0:00:11.620
There’s a link in the description [br]where you can go check

0:00:11.619,0:00:14.439
If you’re not registered or you need to[br]update your name or address

0:00:14.439,0:00:17.709
There’s another link below where[br]you can go register online right now

0:00:17.709,0:00:20.920
As long as you have a South Carolina[br]driver’s license or state ID

0:00:20.920,0:00:24.012
If you don’t have a South Carolina license[br]you’ll have to apply by mail

0:00:24.012,0:00:28.121
Using the form linked below and mail it [br]to your county board of voter registration

0:00:28.121,0:00:30.500
There’s a link to their addresses[br]in the description

0:00:30.500,0:00:32.078
Once you’re registered[br]you get to vote!

0:00:32.078,0:00:35.339
In most cases you’re going to be voting[br]in person on November 3rd

0:00:35.340,0:00:38.694
But you can vote absentee by mail if: [br]you will be out of state on election day,

0:00:38.694,0:00:42.002
If you are over 65, or you have [br]an illness, disability,

0:00:42.002,0:00:45.256
Work shift, or religious belief that [br]prevents you from going to the polls

0:00:45.256,0:00:47.842
If any of those apply to you, [br]you can request a ballot

0:00:47.842,0:00:51.359
By filling out a form in the link below,[br]printing it out, and mailing it in

0:00:51.369,0:00:54.590
You can request your ballot any time [br]between now and October 30th

0:00:54.590,0:00:57.362
But the sooner you get your request in[br]the sooner you get your ballot

0:00:57.362,0:01:00.236
And the longer you will have[br]to look it over, research candidates,

0:01:00.236,0:01:02.609
And vote before you send it in [br]by November 3rd

0:01:02.609,0:01:06.065
If you qualify to vote absentee by mail[br]you can also go vote in person

0:01:06.065,0:01:08.732
At your county’s Board of Elections[br]and Voter Registration office

0:01:08.732,0:01:11.210
between October 5th and November 2nd

0:01:11.209,0:01:14.346

0:01:16.867,0:01:18.204
To vote on November 3rd

0:01:18.204,0:01:21.519
Polls are open from 7am to 7pm[br]and you’ll need to bring an ID

0:01:21.519,0:01:26.526
A valid South Carolina driver’s license,[br]State ID, military ID, or passport all work

0:01:26.526,0:01:28.398
If you don’t have one of those you can

Go to your county voter registration office[br]or DMV to get a free voter ID card

0:01:32.315,0:01:35.060
You should figure out what form of ID[br]you are going to use now

0:01:35.060,0:01:37.530
So you have enough time[br]to get one if you need one

0:01:37.530,0:01:40.238
You can use the same link[br]you used to find your polling place

0:01:40.238,0:01:43.099
To look at a sample ballot that tells[br]you everything you’ll be able to vote for

0:01:43.099,0:01:45.428
You don’t have to vote[br]for every single item on the ballot

0:01:45.428,0:01:46.941
You can leave things blank if you want to

0:01:46.941,0:01:49.928
But your local elections can be [br]pretty important so it’s worth

0:01:49.928,0:01:51.672
Checking out what’s[br]on there ahead of time

0:01:51.672,0:01:53.999
You can even print it out [br]and bring it to the polls with you

0:01:53.999,0:01:55.748
So you don’t forget [br]how you wanted to vote

0:01:55.748,0:01:56.577
One last thing

0:01:56.577,0:01:59.814
If you’re going to vote, open up your [br]notes app or grab a piece of paper

0:01:59.814,0:02:01.051
And make a plan now

0:02:01.051,0:02:04.299
Write down when and how you’re going to[br]register, what time you’re gonna vote,

0:02:04.299,0:02:06.819
How you’re gonna get there, [br]what ID you’re going to use,

0:02:06.819,0:02:09.340
Even who you’re going to[br]bring to the polls with you

0:02:09.340,0:02:13.009
Having a plan is a great way to make sure[br]that nothing unexpected stops you

0:02:13.009,0:02:14.317
From voting on [br]November 3rd

0:02:14.317,0:02:16.790
