As the election season draws near, partisan candidate filing remains open through Wednesday at noon.
Filing for County Auditor (unexpired term), probate judge, and all seven county council seats are included in this year's elections, with the primary set for June 14. Candidates may file at the County Board of Voter Registration & Elections, 301 North Main Street Anderson.
The Statement of Intention of Candidacy & Party Pledge (SICPP) filing form is required and is available in the “Candidate Information” section of www.scvotes.gov and at the county election office.
Filing fees are paid at the time of filing by candidates seeking the nomination of a party nominating by primary. This filing fee is prorated for the unexpired term and is: $1,761.81. Filing fee checks must be made payable to the appropriate state political party.
Candidates are also required to file a Statement of Economic Interest and a Campaign Disclosure online with the State Ethics Commission at www.ethics.sc.gov. Failure to file these documents may result in a candidate fine but will not disqualify a candidate from an election.
