Voters Head to the Polls Across Horry County for Election Day

HORRY COUNTY, SC — Voters across Horry County are heading to their assigned precinct polling locations today as the 2026 midterm election cycle reaches its conclusion.

Early Voting Turnout Context

Across South Carolina, voters demonstrated strong participation during the in-person early voting window (October 19 – October 31) ahead of Election Day:

• Statewide Early Voting Pace: Early voting participation across South Carolina outpaced previous midterm levels, with more than 363,500 ballots cast statewide in just the first four days of early voting. Horry County was among the top counties in early vote volume across the state.

Election Day Polling Places & Hours

• Polling Hours: All Election Day precinct polling places in Horry County and across South Carolina are open today from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST. Any registered voter who is in line by 7:00 p.m. will be permitted to cast a ballot.

• Where to Vote: Unlike the early voting period—where voters could use any designated county satellite site—voters casting a ballot on Election Day must vote at their designated home precinct polling location.

• Photo ID Requirement: South Carolina law requires voters to present an acceptable photo ID at the polls. Acceptable forms include:

  • South Carolina driver’s license or SCDMV ID card

  • South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit

  • South Carolina voter registration card with photo

  • U.S. Military ID or Veterans Affairs benefits card
