South Carolina H3557 amends candidate filing requirements and fees for political parties.

South Carolina H3557 amends the South Carolina Code to change the candidate filing period and fees. It mandates that candidates seeking nomination for statewide, congressional, or district offices must file their statements of intention and party pledges with the State Election Commission between noon on March 16th and noon on March 30th. For countywide or less than countywide offices, candidates must file with the county board of voter registration and elections.
