Board of Voter Registration & Elections

The Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections (BVRE) and the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) are excited to announce a new initiative for the upcoming General Election on November 5, 2024. In an effort to eliminate transportation barriers, CARTA will offer free rides to all polling locations throughout Charleston County and to BVRE headquarters on Election Day.

This collaboration aims to make voting more accessible, fostering greater civic participation and community engagement. By removing transportation obstacles, BVRE and CARTA are reinforcing their commitment to supporting every citizen's right to vote.

"We are thrilled to work with CARTA to offer this vital service to our community," said Isaac Cramer, Executive Director of the Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections. "It is essential that every eligible voter has the opportunity to reach their polling place, ensuring a fair and inclusive election process."

"Public transit is a public service and CARTA is pleased to partner with BVRE to provide this important connection to voter services," added Michael Seekings, Chairman of CARTA.
