Cane Bay, Nexton, Carnes Crossroads, Daniel Island. Thousands of families arrive every year, and almost nobody hands them a map of how this county is run. This is that map. No sign-up required to read it.
In the order that actually matters when you are new.
Your registration does not follow you. If you moved from another county or another state, you have to register at your new address before you can vote here.
Register or update your address →Berkeley County votes at 96 precincts. Yours is set by your address, and it decides your polling place and which neighbors you organize with.
See the precinct list →County Council, school board, state House and Senate, Congress. Most people who move here can name the president and nobody else on the ballot.
See your elected officials →The county party meets for breakfast once a month at the American Legion in Goose Creek. Anyone can come, you do not have to be a member, and it is the easiest way to meet people who already do this work.
Breakfast details →Plenty of precincts in the growth areas have no officers at all, which means nobody from that neighborhood has a seat at the county party. New residents are exactly who those seats are waiting on.
See which precincts are open →Cane Bay. Nexton. Carnes Crossroads. Daniel Island. Wassamassaw. Whole neighborhoods have gone up where there were trees ten years ago, full of families who have never been asked to get involved in anything here.
That is not a complaint. It is the opportunity. The people who show up first set the direction, and right now in most of these neighborhoods, nobody has shown up.
That is the whole ask. Show up once, meet the people, decide for yourself whether you want to do more. Nobody will put you on a committee at the door.
