Carlisle, South Carolina Public Records

Citizenship, South Carolina residency, being at least 18 by Election Day, and not being under court order for mental incompetency. The state requires photo ID at the polls - acceptable forms include a South Carolina driver's license, DMV ID card, passport, military ID, or a voter registration card with photo issued by Union County. Because Carlisle is unincorporated, there are no local municipal races for mayor or city council. Instead, residents vote in county, state, and federal contests. At the Union County level, that means County Council races across seven single-member districts, plus Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Auditor, Treasurer, Coroner, and other constitutional offices. State legislative elections cover the State Senate's 46 districts and the State House's 124 districts. Locally, residents fall within Senate District 11 and House District 40. Finding your polling place is simple, just enter your address at https://vrems.scvotes.sc.gov/?PageMode=VoterInfo to see your assigned location, sample ballot, and registration status. Neither U.S.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Carlisle voters are published by the South Carolina State Election Commission (https://scvotes.gov/).

The gubernatorial race won't appear either, since the governor was elected in 2022 to a four-year term. County races will include County Council members from districts with expiring seats, though the Sheriff won't appear after being elected in 2024 to a four-year term running through 2028. Other county offices will depend on their individual term schedules.
