The countdown is on for the 2024 election. Now that many states have imposed early voting so many people wonder how and when they should vote. (SC added 14 days of early voting in the election bill of 2022; prior to that we had 1 day of voting except for 2020 where they had a temporary emergency 29 day early voting period). Furthermore, many “influencers” are giving advice that doesn’t make sense to those of us fighting for election integrity 24-7 for the last 4 years.
There are many options: vote early in person?, by absentee ballot?, on election day?
After studying this issue with election integrity experts for the past 4 years we have some answers for you.
In addition, please do the following prior to voting and consider helping ensure your vote counts by:
- Check your registration status; you must be registered at least 30 days prior to the election
- Vote in person on election day; confirm your precinct location beforehand (please refrain from voting early). In this must-see video, Laura and Rick from the Gold Standard Elections team discuss why.
- Encourage your friends to vote; drive them to the polls
- Have a neighborhood picnic for people who voted
- Sign up with your political party to be a poll watcher
- Observe the absentee ballot processing and tabulation
- Attend your county logic and accuracy machine testing
- Attend your county provisional hearing and canvassing/certification of the vote
- Attend your county hand count audit of the results
