NOTICE OF ELECTION – Updated 9/19/14
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
CHARLESTON COUNTY
The General Election will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. The ballot will feature candidates for
Federal, State, County, and other local offices, and Constitutional Amendment Questions and local
referendums. Any person wishing to vote in this election must register no later than Saturday, October
4, 2014.
Voters will be asked to provide one of the following Photo IDs when voting in person:
•
•
•
•
•
S.C. Driver's License
ID Card issued by S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles
S.C. Voter Registration Card with Photo
Federal Military ID
U.S. Passport
If you have one of these Photo IDs, you are ready to vote. Voters should remember to bring one of these
Photo IDs with them to the polling place. Voters without Photo ID can get one free of charge from the
Department of Motor Vehicles or their county voter registration and elections office. Voters who cannot
get a Photo ID should bring their paper voter registration card without a photo with them to their polling
place. These voters can then sign an affidavit swearing to their reason for not being able to get a Photo ID
and vote a provisional ballot. This ballot will count unless the county board of voter registration and
elections has grounds to believe the affidavit is false. For more information on Photo ID, visit
scVOTES.org or contact your county voter registration and elections office.
At 9:00 a.m. on Election Day, the Board of Elections and Voter Registration of Charleston County will begin its
examination of the absentee ballot return envelopes at the elections office, 4367 Headquarters Rd, North
Charleston SC.
On Friday, November 7, 2014 at 10:00 am, the Charleston County Board of Canvassers will hold a hearing to
determine the validity of all provisional ballots cast in these elections, and certify election results. This hearing
will be held at 4367 Headquarters Rd, North Charleston SC.
The following Constitutional Amendment Questions will be placed on the ballot:
Amendment 1
Must Section 7, Article XVII of the Constitution of this State be amended so as to provide that a raffle is
not a lottery prohibited by this section, if the raffle is conducted by a nonprofit organization for
charitable, religious, fraternal, educational, or other eleemosynary purposes, and the general law
defines the type of organization authorized to operate and conduct the raffles, provides standards for
the operation and conduct of the raffles, provides for the use of proceeds for charitable, religious,
fraternal, educational, or other eleemosynary purposes, provides penalties for violations, and provides
for other laws necessary to ensure the proper functioning, honesty, and integrity of the raffles, but in
the absence of any general law, then the raffle remains a prohibited lottery?
Explanation
A 'Yes' vote will allow certain nonprofit organizations to conduct raffles and use the proceeds for
charitable, religious, or educational purposes.
A 'No' vote maintains the current law that considers a raffle to be a lottery and is prohibited.
Amendment 2
Must Section 7, Article VI of the Constitution of this State relating to state constitutional officers and
Section 4, Article XIII relating to the Adjutant General and his staff officers be amended so as to update
references to his title; to provide that the position of Adjutant General is recognized as holding the
rank of Major General, as opposed to Brigadier General; to provide that upon the expiration of the term
of the Adjutant General serving in office on the date of the ratification of this provision, the Adjutant
General must be appointed by the Governor, upon the advice and consent of the Senate; to provide that
the appointed Adjutant General serve for a term not coterminous with the Governor and may be
removed only for cause; and to require the General Assembly to provide by law for the term, duties,
compensation, and qualifications for office, the procedures by which the appointment is made, and the
procedures by which the Adjutant General may be removed from office?
Explanation
A 'Yes' vote will require, beginning in 2018, the Adjutant General be appointed by the Governor with
consent of the Senate. The General Assembly will set the term, duties, compensation and qualifications
for office and procedures by which appointment is made and how an Adjutant General can be removed
from office.
A 'No' vote maintains the current method of electing an Adjutant General.
