National Voter Registration Day is a nationwide effort to register voters before upcoming November elections in that year.
Berkeley County Election and Voter Registration Director Adam Hammons encourages residents to participate.
“Tomorrow is a great way to truly celebrate democracy in America by encouraging individuals to exercise one of our most basic rights – the right to vote,” said Hammons. “Berkeley County and the State Election Commission encourages all South Carolinians to exercise that right in all elections, including the more than 150 elections being held throughout the state on November 3rd. The first step to doing that is registering to vote.”
In order to vote on November 3, 2015 – one must be registered by October 3, 2015.
There are a number of ways to register in South Carolina including:

If one has moved within a county since the last election, it is important that she updates her registration with the county voter registration and elections office. If one has moved to another county, she must register in the new county by October 3, 2015 in order to vote on November 3, 2015.
