The South Carolina Republican and Democratic parties have submitted corrected lists of candidates who are eligible to appear on the June 12 primary ballot, as required by the SC Supreme Court this week.
State party officials have said around 200 candidates in at least 30 counties will not appear on the ballots because of missing paperwork. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of two voters from Lexington County, who filed a suit claiming those candidates failed to file statements of economic interest by the March 30 deadline, as required by law.
In Horry County, more than a dozen candidates were removed from the ballot, including five in the House District 105 race.
The list below of candidate whose names will not appear on the primary ballots was compiled by NewsChannel 15 based on lists provided by the State Election Commission and the county political parties. There's so much confusion on the part of the parties and the candidates, it's possible this list could change.
