S.0113

Establishes a single party primary system in South Carolina, allowing only registered party members to vote in their party's primary.

The bill amends South Carolina's election laws to establish a single party primary system. It specifies that only electors registered as members of a certified political party can vote in that party's primary election or advisory referendum. Independent electors unaffiliated with a certified political party can vote if the party opens its primary to them. The bill also mandates that the State Election Commission inform voters of these procedures. The changes will take effect after May 31, 2028.
