★ Step Up, District 4 ★

No Democrat filed in County Council District 4 — but South Carolina allows write-in candidates in general elections, and a write-in wins by earning the most votes in the race. District 4 residents thinking about stepping up: it’s not too late to try. Talk to the Berkeley County Voter Registration & Elections office at (843) 719-4056 about how write-in votes are counted, and the S.C. Ethics Commission about candidate requirements before you campaign.

Don't Skip the Bottom of the Ballot

School board and other nonpartisan races

School board races appear without party labels, near the bottom of your ballot — and other groups recruit and endorse for those seats on purpose. Vote your ticket if you want, but scroll all the way down and vote the nonpartisan races on purpose. Look the candidates up before you go: Ballotpedia's school board coverage and your sample ballot show exactly who's running where you live.
