South Carolina Primary
The South Carolina Republican primary is coming up. Here's what you need to know.
When is the South Carolina Republican primary?
The South Carolina Republican primary is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 24.
Seven candidates will be on the Republican ballot in South Carolina, including three who have suspended their 2024 campaigns.
Who can participate?
South Carolina has no formal party registration, so registered voters can participate in the primary regardless of whether they identify as Republicans, Democrats or independents.
However, if you voted in the Democratic primary this month, you can't vote in the Republican one, too.
How can I vote?
The polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can also vote early from now through Feb. 22, but your early-voting location may be different from your Election Day polling site, so be sure to check.
Either way, you'll need to show photo identification.
Who will be on the ballot?
Seven candidates will be listed, including the two major contenders, former President Donald J. Trump and Nikki Haley, as well as several little-known candidates and three former candidates who have suspended their campaigns.
The ballot will also include three questions on policy matters.
