The South Carolina Election Commission (SEC) wants voters to know that the June 9 statewide primary election will proceed as planned.

Regardless of ongoing legislative discussions surrounding H. 5683 and congressional redistricting, the June 9 primary election remains on schedule, and voters should make their plans now to participate. 

“The June 9 primary will take place as scheduled,” said Conway Belangia, SEC Executive Director. “Our focus remains delivering a fair, impartial, and accessible election for every eligible voter in South Carolina, and that work continues regardless of ongoing activity at the State House.”

Voters are encouraged to rely on official SEC communications for accurate and up-to-date election information, including polling locations, registration deadlines, absentee voting, and any future updates. Information is available at scVOTES.gov and through the SEC’s official social media channels.
