"The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter." – Dwight Eisenhower
Nearly two years ago, over 72% of South Carolinians went to the polls, exceeding the national average of nearly 69% of eligible voters casting their ballot. The 2020 election had the highest voter turnout in the 21st century, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
We encourage you to exercise the same enthusiasm in the statewide primaries tomorrow. Many of us in Beaufort County – over 6,200 in fact – have already cast our ballot thanks to the new South Carolina law for no-excuse early voting.
If you’re not sure who’s on the ballot, or when or where to vote, we have everything you need to know on our election webpage here. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has resources here as well.
Voting is one of the most important civic duties we exercise. We encourage you to vote in tomorrow’s primary.
Make it a great week! 
Bill Miles,
President & CEO | Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce
