If you haven't used South Carolina's new voting machine yet, you should get the opportunity to cast your ballot on the ExpressVote ballot-marking system during Election 2020. Under the system made by Election Systems & Software, voters will put their paper ballot into a touchscreen system and choose their candidates. They print out a completed ballot to review their selections and then put the ballot into a scanner to formally record their votes. The paper ballots will be kept in a locked box where can be used to verify results.
