Allendale County voters can cast early ballots at McNair Street office
Allendale County voters can use early voting at the county registration office on McNair Street before the June 9 primary, with weekday hours from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Registered voters in Allendale County do not have to wait until June 9 to vote in the South Carolina primary. Early ballots can be cast at the County Voter Registration Office, 158 McNair Street in Allendale, from Tuesday, May 26, through Friday, June 5, with polling open 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Early voting will be closed on Saturdays, Sundays and state holidays, and voters must present a photo ID before casting a ballot.
The local site gives Allendale residents a nearby option before Election Day, which can matter in a county where distance, work shifts, school schedules, medical appointments and transportation can shape turnout. Voters may use any early voting center in their county, but for Allendale County, the McNair Street office is the clearest in-county place to vote early without making a trip outside the county seat.
That convenience carries added weight in a small county. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates Allendale County’s population at 7,355 as of July 1, 2025, down from 8,039 in the 2020 census, and 23.5% of residents are 65 or older. In a county with an older population and limited margin for turnout swings, an early-voting site in town can help voters who would otherwise struggle to get to the polls on a single Tuesday.
State election officials said early voting is open to all registered voters before Election Day, and county election offices are required to provide early-voting dates, times and locations at least two weeks before the period begins. South Carolina’s public election resources list nearly 3.39 million registered voters statewide, underscoring how broad the early-voting push is ahead of the June 9 primaries.
The South Carolina State Election Commission said 12,695 absentee ballots had been mailed for the 2026 primary as of May 22, with 3,473 returned. That early turnout, along with in-person voting at places like the Allendale County Voter Registration Office, shows how many South Carolinians are already making their choice before primary day.
The commission also maintains voter registration and participation records, including absentee and early-voting statistics, going back decades. For Allendale County voters, the immediate takeaway is simple: the early-voting window is open now, the office is at 158 McNair Street, and the schedule is confined to weekday business hours through Friday, June 5.
