5 things to know before you go vote in Horry County

Horry County residents will make their way to one of 114 polling places on Tuesday to cast ballots in the presidential race, as well as local elections and a ballot question on raising the sales tax.

Here are the five things to know, before you go:

5. Where is my polling place?

4. What is the earliest or latest I can vote?

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Those standing in line before the polls close will still be allowed to cast votes.

3. Must I show identification to cast a ballot?

Photo identification is required to vote in South Carolina, so voters should remember to bring a driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Other acceptable forms of identification include a state concealed weapons permit, voter registration card with photo, passport, military or veteran ID.

2. What is the sales tax increase used for?

The ballot question to raise the sales tax for eight years on retail, hotels, restaurants, bars, and prepared food in grocery stores would raise an estimated $600 million to fund 15 road projects plus paving and resurfacing more than 150 miles of roads. The funding program is called RIDE III but that title does not appear on the ballot question. However, the ballot does list all of the road projects in order of construction priority.

1. Who is running for office?

The national ticket is dominated by presidential candidates, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, but there are a number of local office-holders as well.

For the Horry County Council, Republican Dennis DiSabato, Jr. is challenging Democratic incumbent Jimmy Washington for the 3rd District seat. Democrat Robin Gause is challenging the Republican incumbent Gary Loftus for the 4th District seat.

Voters will fill one open seat on the Horry County Board of Education, choosing between Republican Chris Hardwick and Democrat Ronald Bessant.

Republican Congressman Tom Rice is being challenged by Democrat Mal Hyman.
