A statewide constitution amendment passed by a wide margin in South Carolina.
With approximately 80% of the vote in, the amendment passed by 85%.
South Carolina had a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot. The question asks if Section 4, Article II of the South Carolina Constitution should be changed to read "Only a citizen of the United States and of this State of the age of eighteen and upwards who is properly registered is entitled to vote as provided by law."
The current language says "Every citizen of the United States and of this State of the age of eighteen and upwards who is properly registered is entitled to vote as provided by law.”
South Carolina is not the only state with the measure on the ballot, as eight states, including North Carolina, asked residents questions with the same wording.
In Greenville County, voters struck down a referendum for a proposed 1% sales tax increase. With 100% precincts reporting, the measure failed by about three percentage points.
The ballot question, featured alongside residents’ picks for president, congress, statehouse, and local government, read “Must a special one percent sales and use tax be imposed in Greenville County for not more than 8 years to raise the amounts specified for the following purposes?”
If passed, the tax would have raised more than $1 billion for road and intersection improvements, roadway safety, congestion relief and bridge and road-related drainage.
Most of the county's roads are in fair or poor condition.
The county owns 1,800 miles of roads, more than any other county in the state. However, only 28 to 32 can be paved each year.
Greenville County spends about $78 million per year, which includes different methods of funding such as the state’s Department of Transportation contributing $27 million and the County Transportation Committee fund from state gas taxes supplying $4 million.

Voting in the 2024 general election ends on Tuesday. For two weeks, more than 1 million South Carolina voters turned out to early vote for candidates vying for federal, state, and local offices. Early voting ended Saturday.
Here's what to know about voting on Tuesday.
Election Day, or the general election, is on Nov. 5. In the general election, voters will decide who represents federal, state, and local offices, including the U.S. president, U.S. Senate, and state legislature.
In South Carolina, polling place hours are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Anyone in line at 7 p.m., will be allowed to vote.
Find your polling place by going to https://vrems.scvotes.sc.gov/Voter/Login?PageMode=PollingPlace
Residents will need to show an ID to vote, which can be a driver's license, an ID card issued by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, a voter registration card with a photo, a federal military ID or a U.S. passport.
No. Don't go to a polling place wearing a candidate or party’s name or slogan on a hat, a t-shirt, a button, or a pin. South Carolina law prohibits campaign material within 500 feet of a polling place.

A referendum is when residents vote for or against a law or initiative on a specific issue. Referendums on the ballot will depend on where you live and can be found on the election commission’s website.
A statewide referendum will be on the ballot regarding an article of the constitution asking if it should be amended to “provide that only a citizen of the United States and of this age of eighteen who is eighteen and upwards who is properly registered is entitled to vote as provided by law?”
Greenville County voters will decide whether to implement a one percent sales tax to raise funds for roads.
Anderson County voters will have two transportation sales taxes on the ballot.
In Spartanburg, voters will have five referendums, all regarding fire districts in the county.

Many accolades have come Greenville’s way over the years as revitalization turned to prosperity.
Here’s another: tidy. This is a city that brings out public works cleanup crews immediately after every festival, parade or other events.
And so it comes as no surprise that Greenville city officials were ready when the remnants of Hurricane Helene — still a powerful tropical storm — blasted through the city, downed hundreds of trees and power lines, ripped off roofs and flooded streets.
In fact, planning for Helene began a week before the storm hit, well before anyone knew it would actually strike Greenville.
Greenville City Manager Shannon Lavrin prepared a 65-page PowerPoint presentation for city officials that offered a tick-tock assessment of everything the city did to get ready and how they managed the aftermath.
Planning began on Sept. 20 as city officials monitored Helene, then just forming in the Gulf of Mexico. First up, order fuel.
By Sept. 24, rain ahead of the storm was causing damage in various parts of the city and a microburst hit the Greenville Zoo. Buildings and animals were okay, but there were many downed trees. Downtown’s treasured treescape was damaged as well.
Greenville City Fire responded to 114 incidents in 24 hours and additional firefighters were called in to staff three water-rescue teams and one high-water vehicle.
Helene was still three days away.
Overnight on Sept. 27, the storm hit. Torrential rains, wind gusts, flash floods. The Reedy River surged through the downtown with such force it was impossible to see the 28-foot drop of Reedy River Falls.
In all, 90% of residents were without power. Two thirds of traffic lights did not work. All personnel, fire apparatus and vehicles are called back to work.
Within days, seven people would die:
Fire crews responded to 302 emergency incidents over the next 24 hours. Fire prevention staff went to senior living facilities and assisted Meals on Wheels in delivering food.
One downtown sculpture was damaged.
Police manned drones for hours to assess damage.
The city’s Engineering Services department staff divided into eight teams to install generators to power traffic signals. Ten generators were stolen.
Public Works crews worked alongside Duke Energy to speed up their restoration work, an unprecedented effort.
Debris hauling began Sept. 29.
So far, 260,000 cubic yards of debris have been collected, and the effort likely will continue until Thanksgiving, Lavrin said.
By the time it is done, the debris will equal 15 football fields, 10 feet high.
“Every city department has played a part in our recovery efforts and employees whose homes were damaged came to work every day to help our residents and businesses,” Lavrin told City Council. “We have also received tremendous support from our community and we are very grateful.”
