First day of early voting breaks SC records

COLUMBIA — Early voting in South Carolina is already smashing records.

About 125,900 people voted Monday, the opening day of early voting for the general election, according to a news release from the State Election Commission.

That’s a huge leap from the one-day high set on Nov. 4, 2022, when 70,100 people voted. That was the Friday before Election Day.

“We are thrilled to see voters embracing the convenience of early voting, and we are anticipating a significant turnout for this election,” said Howard Knapp, director of the State Election Commission, in the release.
