How much do you really know about the candidates running for President of the United States? Did you know that besides Hillary and Donald, there are five other candidates to choose from that will be listed on your ballot?
Do you know who is running in your district for Senate or the House of Representatives? How about more of the local elections, do you know who’s running for County Council or for your local School Board? Finding all of this information, if you are a registered voter in South Carolina, is easy. Simply log on to info.scvotes.sc.gov, fill in your name and date of birth and you can review a copy of the sample ballot. The ballot will list everyone running, from President to whoever is running in your district, like your Coroner and County Treasurer. If you live outside of South Carolina, review your local board of elections to find out where you can find a sample ballot.
Reviewing and researching the people running for office in your district will prepare you to make the best decision possible, especially when it comes to your local elections. Here is a copy of page 2 of the sample ballot for my district below:
