Allows the State Election Commission or county boards to extend voting hours at polling places with delays or interruptions.

This bill amends South Carolina law to allow the State Election Commission or county boards to extend voting hours at polling places that experience delays in opening or interruptions in voting. If a polling place opens fifteen minutes or more late, or if voting is interrupted for fifteen minutes or more, the State Election Commission may extend the closing time by an equal number of minutes, up to a maximum of 120 minutes. County boards must report any delays or interruptions to the commission, which must publish decisions on its website.
