SC Election Commission: June 9 primary will proceed as planned

The South Carolina Election Commission announced May 21 the June 9 statewide primary will proceed.

“The June 9 primary will take place as scheduled,” said Conway Belangia, SEC executive director. “Our focus remains delivering a fair, impartial and accessible election for every eligible voter in South Carolina, and that work continues regardless of ongoing activity at the State House.”

Questions surrounding the election started when Gov. Henry McMaster issued an executive order May 14 to make the state General Assembly reconvene for a special session, beginning May 15.

The House of Representatives took up H. 5683, a bill that, if approved by both chambers, would redraw the state’s U.S. House districts. This piece of legislation was passed by the House on May 20 and is being discussed in the Senate.
