A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 7-13-190, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO SPECIAL ELECTIONS TO FILL VACANCIES IN OFFICE SO AS TO CHANGE THE TIME FOR CONDUCTING THE SPECIAL ELECTION FROM THE EIGHTEENTH TUESDAY AFTER THE VACANCY OCCURS TO THE FOURTEENTH TUESDAY AFTER THE VACANCY OCCURS.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. The second paragraph of Section 7-13-190(B) of the 1976 Code, as amended by Act 61 of 1991, is further amended to read:

"(B) A primary must be held on the eleventh Tuesday after the vacancy occurs. A runoff primary must be held on the thirteenth Tuesday after the vacancy occurs. The special election must be on the eighteenth fourteenth Tuesday after the vacancy occurs. If the filing period closes on a state holiday, then filing must be held open through the succeeding weekday. If the date for an election falls on a state holiday, it must be set for the next succeeding Tuesday. For purposes of this section, state holiday does not mean the general election day."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
