Ten precincts in Union County will share polling stations for this month's Republican and Democratic presidential primaries.
Election Commission Chairman Keith Vanderford said that in passing legislation to fund Saturday's Republican primary and the Jan. 26 Democratic primary, the S.C. General Assembly directed local election commissions to combine polling stations where possible to cut costs.
“The state asked us to because of the cost,” he said. “The two parties could not get together on the date. The State Election Commission went and asked both parties to hold them on the same date but they refused.
“So the legislature approved enough money to hold the primaries on separate days,” he said. “They put in the legislation that local election commissions were to combine polling locations where possible to save money.”
Vanderford said voters in the following precincts will vote in the following locations
