Find your polling place
Know where you’re going before you leave the house.
On Election Day you have to vote at the polling place assigned to your address, and it may not be where you voted last time. Look it up on the state election site with your name, county, and date of birth. It takes about a minute.

Your ballot covers more than the top races. There may be local seats, school board, and ballot questions further down. Look at your sample ballot now so nothing catches you off guard in the booth. You’re allowed to bring your own notes in with you.
Your rights at the polls
Know your rights before you go.
Stay in line!
In line at 7? Stay in line. If you’re in line when polls close, you still get to vote. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
You can still vote without a photo ID.
No photo ID? You can still vote. Bring your paper voter registration card, sign a form explaining why you couldn’t get a photo ID, and cast a provisional ballot. It counts unless the county has reason to believe the form isn’t true.
You can vote even if you forget your ID.
Left your ID at home? Ask for a provisional ballot. Then take your ID to the county elections office before the results are certified, which is usually that Friday.
You can bring help.
You can bring someone to help. If you’re blind, have a disability, or have trouble reading, you can choose someone to help you vote. The only people who can’t help are your employer and your union officers.
Curbside voting is an option.
If you’re 65 or older, or a disability makes it hard to stand in line or get inside, you can vote from your car.
If your registration has issues, you can still vote.
Something wrong with your registration? You have the right to a provisional ballot. Afterward you can check whether it was counted on scvotes.gov.
Something not right at your polling place?
Don’t leave without voting. Call the Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to talk with a trained volunteer, or contact the Georgetown County Board of Voter Registration and Elections at [phone].
