Primary Election Held Aug. 4; Canvassing Slated For Aug. 24

A total of 1,265 voters in Greenwood County went to the polls for the Aug. 4 Primary Election. Although Greenwood County voters voted in support of the constitutional amendment (686-551), the voters across the state were largely opposed to the amendment, with No receiving 61% of the votes, 382,395 to 240,799.

Other races were to select whose name would appear on the general ticket in November for both the Democratic and Republican parties. Several write-in votes were cast, due to no one filing for that specific position, with those results not being available until after the Aug. 24 canvas by the Greenwood County Commission.
