SUMMARY: In downtown Conway, voters expressed confusion regarding a proposed amendment related to voter eligibility, emphasizing the existing requirements of being 18, properly registered, and a citizen. Many agreed that these parameters are already established by law, leading to questions about the necessity of the amendment. Voters speculated that the proposal might be redundant or merely “filler” for the ballot, as its implications appeared minimal. Overall, there was a consensus that the amendment might not significantly change the voting landscape, highlighting a disconnect between the proposal and voters’ understanding of current laws.

On Election Day, South Carolina voters will see a question on the ballot that could amend the state constitution regarding voter qualifications.

The proposed amendment seeks to specify that “only” U.S. citizens who are properly registered and aged 18 or older are entitled to vote.

ABC15’s Connor Ingalls hit the streets of Downtown Conway to ask voters if they understood the question? And what they think it will change, if passed?
