How do I register to vote?

You must be a US Citizen to vote, and you must reside in the state you are registering in. You can register online, by email, fax, or in person at the county Election Office. You must be 18 to vote, but if you will be 18 on the next Election Day, you are eligible to register.

How do I vote?

You must be registered no later than 30 days before an election to be eligible to vote. If you are registered, it’s a good idea to check your registration, especially if you’ve moved, or gotten married. You can vote early, vote absentee by mail, or vote in-person on Election Day.

Where do I vote?

Greenville County has 151 voting precincts. Your precinct is listed on your voter registration card and can also be found online. However, in many elections there are late changes in polling places, so it’s a good idea to check with the Election Office when you make a plan to vote.
