Myrtle Beach Votes: Early Voting Turns Out in Droves!
Hey Myrtle Beach, have you noticed the buzz surrounding the upcoming presidential election? This year, voters across the beautiful Palmetto State are making history with a staggering **_record-breaking early voting turnout_**! That’s right; we’re talking about enthusiastic locals stepping up to make their voices heard!
A Final Push with “Stroll to the Poll”
As Saturday marked the last day for early voting, the Horry County Democratic Party organized a special event dubbed the “**_Stroll to the Poll_**.” This event was all about encouraging our vibrant community to get out there and cast their votes. Doris Potter Hickman, the executive committee woman for the Horry County Democratic Party, was absolutely “**_pumped_**” about this final get-together. She’s all about getting folks engaged and passionate about their democratic rights!
Hickman emphasized the importance of voting, saying, “**_Voting impacts your life from birth to death_**. Everything has to do with the law, and when you vote, you help make the law.” Now that hits home, doesn’t it? Your vote might just be what shapes our community for years to come.
The Numbers Speak Volumes
In the last 11 days alone, over **_113,164 residents_** have already cast their votes in Horry County! Can you believe that? With each of those votes, residents are not just choosing a candidate but are actively shaping policies that impact their lives. How incredible is that?
Help is Always Here
Hickman and her team have been busy answering questions from residents about the voting process. Whether folks reach out in person or pick up the phone, they are ready to assist! They’ve been making sure voters have access to vital information and **_voter guides_** in both English and Spanish. That’s just one more way the community is coming together to ensure everyone’s voice is heard.
Mixed Turnout at Events
Now, while the numbers for early voting are soaring, the turnout at some outreach events has been a bit more “**_moderate_**.” Hickman noted that they’ve seen some folks stopping by to grab information, but it seems a lot of people are opting to call for assistance instead. Our team observed that during a few hours at the Stroll to the Poll, there weren’t many residents coming in person, although a few phone inquiries popped up here and there.
What’s Next? Don’t Miss Out!
As early voting wraps up, it’s crucial to remind everyone that election day is just around the corner. We here at the beach want every voice to be heard, and it’s all about participation. So, whether you’re calling for questions or strolling to the polls, don’t forget to make your voice count. Every vote matters!
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your friends, pull up your voter registration, and let’s do this! If you’ve already voted, high-five! If not, let’s make sure you don’t miss your chance to be part of something bigger than yourself. Let’s show everyone that Myrtle Beach is not only a stunning vacation spot but also a community that cares about its voice.
Happy voting, Myrtle Beach! Your future is in your hands!
