Citizens who are not yet 18 years old but will turn 18 before the next ensuing General Election, and who otherwise qualify to vote, have the right to register beginning 120 days before the closing of the books of a preceding primary (see S.C. Code of Laws 7-5-180).
Students may register to vote where they reside while attending college. This could be at an address in the college community (e.g., a dormitory) or at an address you intend to return to while not in the college community (e.g., family home). For guidance in determining what residence to claim for voter registration purposes, see S.C. Code of Laws Section 7-1-25.

Convicted Felons
Any person who is convicted of a felony or an offense against the election laws is not qualified to register or to vote, unless the disqualification has been removed by service of the sentence, or unless sooner pardoned. Service of sentence includes completing prison/jail time, probation, and parole.
Federal and state courts provide the SEC with lists of persons convicted of felonies or crimes against the election laws. Those persons are removed from the state’s active, registered voters list. The SEC notifies each voter whose name is removed. Voters have 20 days from the date the notice is mailed to appeal. Appeals must be made to the SEC.
Once a person convicted of a felony or offense against the election laws serves his sentence, he may register to vote. To register, the applicant must submit a new application to his county voter registration office. To participate in any particular election, the applicant must apply before the 30-day voter registration deadline. In applying, the registrant is swearing under penalty of perjury that he is qualified to register, including having completed his entire sentence. County voter registration boards must be satisfied that the applicant has completed his sentence, and in some cases, may request a person who has lost his voting rights due to conviction to provide proof that he has completed his sentence.
