Polls are now open

7 a.m.

Voters can begin to cast their ballots in South Carolina's June 9 primary election. More than 318,000 people voted during early primary voting, which is a state early primary voting participation record.

A valid photo ID is required to vote. People can participate in just one political party's primary. Polling locations are available at scvotes.gov.

South Carolinians can help narrow down options for offices like governor, U.S. House of Representatives and some local county council positions.

Polls will close at 7 p.m., and anyone in line by that time can still vote.
