Election Contests and Ballot Measures

November 4, 2014 South Carolina General Election

South Carolina

Note: Candidate pictures are the most current we have on file. Because this is a past election, they may not show a candidate’s likeness at the time of the election and some of the links to websites, emails, and social media may be broken.

In addition to the office contest shown on our ballots, you may find additional county, city, local, board of education, judicial, and commissioner office contests on the ballot you will be given at the polls. Due to our limited resources we were unable to cover those contests.
