Marion County reminds voters early voting runs May 26–June 5 and highlights new regional aviation program
Summary
The county administrator told the Marion County Council that early voting for the primaries runs May 26–June 5 on weekdays and pointed voters to sevotes.gov; the administrator also highlighted a new multi‑district aviation career program led by the airport director and local school districts.
The Marion County administrator told the council that early voting for the primaries began Tuesday, May 26, and will continue through Friday, June 5, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding weekends, and said polling‑location information is available at sevotes.gov.
The administrator also used the update to recognize county maintenance staff West Pittman and Major Lee Llewellyn for recent cleanup work and to spotlight the newly launched Academy for Careers and Technology aviation program, which the administrator described as "the only multi‑district aviation partnership of its kind in South Carolina." The administrator specifically credited Charles Taylor, the airport director, for leading the partnership with Marion County School District, Dillon School Districts 3 and 4, and the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission.
Why it matters: the early‑voting period sets the window for voters to cast ballots before primary day; the aviation academy represents a workforce‑development initiative that the county says will provide aviation education and career pathways for students across the region.
The administrator also asked the council and public to keep Sheriff Deputy Jackie Yates in their thoughts and prayers as he continues his recovery.
The council took no formal vote on the update; staff will proceed with outreach and program implementation steps described by the administrator.
