Hanahan Polling Site Relocates to Bowen’s Corner Elementary for Upcoming June 11 Primaries
The residents of Hanahan, South Carolina, particularly those living in the Tanner Plantation area within the Foster Creek 3 voting precinct, are set to experience a shift in their normal voting routines. In an announcement made ahead of the June 11 statewide non-presidential primaries, the Berkeley County Delegation has approved Bowen’s Corner Elementary School as the new polling location.
Change to Foster Voter Convenience
Previously, residents of this precinct cast their votes at the Hanahan Fire Station #3 on Williams Lane. However, the change, effective from primary day, June 11, is part of a broader initiative aimed at fostering increased convenience and voter turnout. The ease of access and spaciousness of Bowen’s Corner Elementary School are cited as primary reasons for this change.

Reactions to the Change
Reactions to the polling location change have been mixed among voters. While some appreciate the larger and more easily accessible location, others remain concerned about the potential for confusion leading to lower voter turnout. The Berkeley County Delegation has assured that comprehensive measures will be taken to communicate the change to all affected voters.
Plans for Election Day
The Berkeley County Delegation and local election officials have been tirelessly preparing for election day. Appropriate signage will be installed, leading to Bowen’s Corner Elementary; additional staff will be deployed to guide voters, and timely notices will be sent to all residents about the change in polling location.
Conducting smooth, free, and fair elections remains the cornerstone of any democracy. The change in polling location for Hanahan’s Foster Creek 3 voting precinct, from Hanahan Fire Station #3 to Bowen’s Corner Elementary School, underscores the commitment of the Berkeley County Delegation to uphold this principle by ensuring voter convenience and enhancing turnout.
