League of Women Voters ^®
of South Carolina

Tuesday is National Voter Registration Day. Voting allows qualified citizens to have a say in who will represent them in local, state, and federal elections. Too many Americans cannot vote because they have not registered or kept their registration information current.

Voter registration is the first step. The League of Women Voters established National Voter Registration Day in 2012. It celebrates our democracy and promotes free and fair voter registration.

The Redistricting Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee met today to discuss the guidelines and criteria to be used by the Senate and the process for third parties (such as the League of Women Voters and other organizations) to submit maps. House statewide hearings are not receiving the attendance that the Senate hearings did.

The League of Women Voters will make its maps public on September 29 in a virtual Zoom-based event. This event is free and open to the public.

In her interview with The Bluffton Sun, LWVSC President Nancy Williams emphasizes the League of Women Voters' commitment to good government as a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to education and voter service.

Redistricting SC 2021 continues in both houses. Initial Senate hearings have ended; third parties may submit maps by mid-September. The House has scheduled public hearings Sept. 8 - Oct. 4.

The ACLU of South Carolina is hiring a full-time, time-limited, attorney to assist organizations throughout South Carolina in their work towards a redistricting process that is as fair and transparent as possible.
