GREENVILLE, South Carolina —
On Saturday, October 31, early voting officially ended at 6 p.m. Hundreds of thousands of voters have already voted, which represents a historic turnout rate.
The University of Florida Election Lab reports that South Carolina recorded just under 1 million early votes.
Greenville County Elections Director Patty Roach said that over the past six months, teams of election workers worked diligently on seven different elections to ensure there were no hiccups, with each election preceded by two weeks of early voting.
“Hundreds of people worked here and in early voting. We’re excited, but we’re tired. They did a great job,” Roach said.

Election officials have high expectations for the final day of early voting. Roach said: “Yesterday we welcomed over 10,000 voters. We’re looking forward to a big day today.”
