Tryon Rec Center Is Satellite Precinct For Greenville County

From the City of Greer:

Registered voters in Greenville County may visit the Tryon Recreation Center Oct. 12-30 to cast absentee ballots in person for the 2020 Presidential Election.

Several key federal, state and county races are also on the ballot. No offices in the City of Greer are scheduled for elections this year.

The Tryon Recreation Center will be a satellite precinct for Greenville County voters, allowing registered voters to cast their ballots in-person prior to the Nov. 3 election day.

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed a bill in September to allow all voters in the fall to cast absentee ballots due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill is similar to what was signed into law for the June primaries, allowing every registered voter in the state to vote absentee.

The Tryon Center at 226 Oakland Ave. will be open from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday during the absentee voting period for Greenville County voters only. Additional satellite precincts are available in Simpsonville, Travelers Rest and Greenville.

Spartanburg County voters may cast in-person absentee ballots at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium located at 385 N. Church St. in Spartanburg.

Questions about absentee voting may be addressed to the Greenville County Elections Office at (864) 467-7250 or the Spartanburg County Elections Office at (864) 596-2549.

Voters may view sample ballots in advance by visiting the My SC Votes website at https://www.scvotes.gov.
