College of Charleston Poll Worker Recruitment Partnership

In 2024, the Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections was awarded a $76,000 grant from the Election Assistance Commission to develop a course alongside the College of Charleston to recruit college students as poll workers.

We are currently in the development stages of the course, with a projected launch in Fall 2024. Stay tuned for more information on our progress.

"I Voted!" Sticker Contest

After a public vote by our Facebook followers, we are excited to announce the winners of our second "I Voted!" Sticker Design Contest!

Over the summer, students from across Charleston County, grades K-12, submitted over 150 creative designs for the competition. Congratulations to Olive H. (K-5), Oliver I. (6-8), and Ella B. (9-12) for receiving the highest number of votes in their respective grade categories.

Each winner received two passes to Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum and a $50 gift certificate to D'Allesandro's Pizza! The winning designs were printed as limited-edition "I Voted!" stickers, available during early voting for this past fall's elections.

We want to send a big thank you to everyone who participated and voted.
