Grover, South Carolina Public Records

Photo ID is required to vote in person, including SC driver's license, DMV-issued ID card, passport, military ID, or voter registration card with photo issued by the Dorchester County elections office. Since the community is unincorporated, there are no municipal elections for mayor or council - residents participate in county, state, and federal contests instead. Dorchester County elections include County Council seats across seven districts, Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Coroner, Auditor, Treasurer, and other constitutional offices, typically held in even-numbered years during the November general election. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the precinct lookup tool at scVOTES.gov/find-your-polling-place or by contacting the Dorchester County elections office with their residential address. The U.S. South Carolina public election records include voter registration lists, available for purchase for political purposes under SC Code § 7-1-25, campaign finance disclosures through the South Carolina Ethics Commission at ethics.sc.gov, candidate filings available through the State Election Commission and county elections offices, and precinct-level election results published after each election on the State Election Commission website at scVOTES.gov. Absentee voting in South Carolina is available both in-person and by mail. The state requires a valid excuse for absentee by-mail voting, age 65 or older, illness, physical disability, work obligations, religious observance, or being away from the county on election day, while in-person early voting is available to all registered voters at designated locations beginning two weeks before the election. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted online through scVOTES.gov or by paper form to the Dorchester County elections office. Vote-by-mail ballots must be requested by 5:00 PM the Friday before the election and returned by 7:00 PM on election day.
