Beaufort County Voting Precincts Redesignation
Summary
The South Carolina General Assembly has amended Section 7-7-110 of the South Carolina Code to redesignate the map number used to delineate voting precincts in Beaufort County. The bill was signed into law by the Governor on April 7, 2026, following unanimous passage in both chambers (101-0 in House, 43-0 in Senate).
What changed
This legislation amends Section 7-7-110 of the South Carolina Code to update the official map number referenced for Beaufort County voting precincts. The change is administrative in nature, revising the map document number without altering actual precinct boundaries or voter assignments.
For Beaufort County election officials and voters, the practical impact is minimal. This is a technical correction ensuring that the statutory reference points to the current official precinct map. County election authorities should verify their precinct records reference the updated map designation when processing future voter registrations or polling location assignments.
What to do next
- Monitor for updated precinct maps from the Beaufort County Board of Elections
- Ensure voter registration records reflect the new precinct map designations
