SCARE Priorities for the 2012 Session
1. |
Allow no excuse absentee voting. Use satellite polling locations
in each
county. No excuse absentee voting would begin a minimum of two
weeks
(15 days) prior to an election and would end at 5 p.m. on the Friday
prior to
the election.
|
2. |
Deletion of the witness's signature on absentee ballot
envelopes.
Remove witness signature from all absentee ballot envelopes. Witness
signature has been removed from UOCAVA absentee envelopes.
|
3. |
Online voter registration. Utilize electronic signatures from DMV.
Same
concept as accessing Motor Voter files.
|
4. |
Legal Notices for elections. Change timeline to
publish first notice 45 days
prior, instead of 60 days prior. Look for ways to reduce cost (publish on
website, etc.) .
|
5. |
Uniform election dates for municipalities. First
Tuesday after the first
Monday in odd-numbered years.
|
6. |
Allow any registered S.C. voter to serve as a poll
worker anywhere in
S.C. This would allow registered S.C. voters to serve wherever they
may
currently live in S.C.
