First in the Nation Presidential Primary Around the Corner!

South Carolina Democrats now have the exciting honor of holding the First in the Nation 2024 Democratic Presidential Primary.  We've earned this distinction through a multi-decade history of high-turnout and well-run primaries with an electorate that reflects the national Democratic Party, and results that produce nominees - its been 36 years since the winner of the SC Democratic Primary didn't end up on the national ticket.

It is critically important for SC Democrats that we live up to this responsibility and are actively engaged with our party and in our Presidential Primary.  To do that, there are already some key things you need to know:

• Voter Registration Deadline: Thursday Jan 4.  Anyone who will be 18 years old by the general election on November 5, 2024 is eligible to register and vote NOW.  Yes, that means 17 year-olds can register and vote in this primary if they will turn 18 on or before November 5th next year.  Register to vote at SCvotes.org!

• Early Voting: Monday Jan 22 - Friday Feb 2.  Exact times and locations to come (check our January 1 newsletter for that), but be sure to vote during this window if you are unable to vote on Primary Day, Feb 3.

• Primary Day: Saturday Feb 3.  Have the privilege of being the first voters in the country to begin the 2024 election cycle, stop Donald Trump once and for all, and send the Biden-Harris administration back to Washington for another 4 years!  Confirm your voter registration is up-to-date at SCvotes.org.

• Get involved: TODAY!  Be sure that you're on our volunteer & email list as we organize events and activities leading up to the Primary over the next two months.
