Website Crashes on First Day of Early Voting in South Carolina

Today is the first day of early voting in South Carolina and the State Election Commission is already reporting issues today.

Those who tried to access the the State Election Commission website first thing this morning were greeted with the error message, "404 Not Found."

Officials used social media outlets to announce that efforts are underway to fix the problem.  In the meantime, anyone with questions about the election is asked to contact their local election office.

All early voting locations in South Carolina will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. now through November 5.  All 46 counties have at least one early voting site, but most have between two and locations where residents can vote early without an excuse.  Voters can find a full list of early voting locations in their county at SCVotes.gov.

All voters will be required to present a valid photo I.D.  Acceptable forms of I.D. include:

SC Driver's License; SC Department of Motor Vehicle I.D. Card; SC voter Registration Card with Photo; Federal Military ID; or a U.S. Passport
