Special elections in South Carolina must be held on specific dates, with adjustments for holidays and conflicts with other elections.

This bill amends South Carolina's special election laws to establish specific dates for special elections, primaries, and runoff primaries. Special elections must be held on one of five designated dates unless they conflict with statewide elections, in which case the Governor or legislative leaders may set an alternative date. If the filing period for an election ends on a holiday, it extends to the next non-holiday weekday. If an election date falls on a holiday, it is moved to the next non-holiday Tuesday.
