Beginning Monday, March 30, 2020 at noon, as prescribed by Section 7-5-130, Time and place where books must be kept open for registration, the Voter Registration and Elections Office Operations will follow that of the Anderson County Court System.
Due to the disruptions of our normal procedures made necessary by Orders from the Governor and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, we have assessed the operation of the Anderson County Voter Registration and Elections Office.
Effective immediately, we have asked all non-essential employees to stay home and perform their duties via e-mail and remote computers. Each day, a small number of team members will come in to check mail, handle administrative duties and conduct any voter registration and/or election matters deemed necessary by our members. After handling these issues, we believe it is best to send our employees back to their homes.
The office is and will remain closed to the public. Until further notice, a small operating staff will be in our offices from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. Please direct inquiries via e-mails to acvote@andersoncountysc.org. Inquires via voicemails received on the telephone at (864)260-4035; will be checked frequently and all inquiries will have replies no later than during the morning of the next business day.
All voter registration functions will continue. If you need to register to vote please consider using the online application process at www.scvotes.org or you may call to request a by mail form to fill out and return. Limited access to the lobby to drop off forms for such tasks as registering will be available during these operating hours, and the recommended social distancing will be enforced.
All employees of the Anderson County Voter Registration and Elections Office urge you to take every health precaution and be safe! We look forward to returning to our normal hours and duties as soon as possible.
