Register by April 1

  • In order to vote, South Carolina law requires that an unregistered voter must first register to vote at least 30 days prior to the election. That's by Sunday, April 1, 2018, to be eligible to vote in the May 1 School Board Bond Referendum election. Aiken County Public Schools encourages the community to get registered and vote in all elections. 

    Citizens interested in registering to vote may do so in a number of ways, including:

    1. ;

    2. Downloading an official voter registration form, completing it and returning it to the county board of voter registration by mail, fax or email; or

    3. By visiting in person the Aiken County Board of Voter Registration & Elections at the Aiken County Government Center, 1930 University Parkway, Aiken, SC 29801. 

    The last day a person may register to be eligible to vote in the Referendum will be April 1, 2018. Online registrations and registrations submitted by email or fax must be received no later than April 1, 2018. Applications for registration to vote sent by mail must be postmarked no later than April 2, 2018. The deadline to appear in person to register to vote at the respective voter registration office is 5:00 p.m. Friday, March 30, 2018 (Aiken County's Board of Voter Registration & Elections will be open until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 30; due to the holiday, those registering in person after noon on Friday will find registration forms and instructions for the voter to deposit the forms in the drop box will be provided).
