Newberry County Offices to re-open May 26, 2020

Newberry County Government will reopen its departmental offices to the public beginning Tuesday, May 26, 2020, from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

As part of the reopening process, we strongly recommend the following procedures for the protection of your health and the health of others:

Wash your hands!
Wear a mask when you visit our offices, especially in high-traffic areas. High-traffic areas include but are not limited to lobbies, waiting areas, and customer service counters. Newberry County will not be providing masks to the public.
Newberry County reserves the right, without notice, to impose occupancy limits in certain areas. Look for posted signs and be patient.
Physical distancing guidelines will be in place. In queue lines, “stand here” markers on the floor will guide you.
Services made available online will continue without transaction fees until further notice. We encourage the public to use online services whenever possible. Likewise, any inquiries you can make over the telephone will be safer, in addition to saving you a trip.

County officials remind everyone to continue following CDC and S.C. DHEC safety guidelines as well as Governor McMaster’s executive orders that remain in effect.

Poll Workers

Sign up to be a poll worker on Election Day

Who can be a poll worker? Anyone working would need to be registered to vote if 18, or at least 16 years of age, and a resident of South Carolina. Poll workers can work in the county they reside in or a neighboring county.

What does a poll worker do? Sets up and closes a polling place, assist voters with check in process and voting

Why be a poll worker? Contribute to your community, earn extra money, and get involved in the democratic process. Many of our regular poll workers are unable to help during this pandemic due to health issues. Will you step in a help? Working just one election is a huge help.

When do they work? Election Day

New poll workers will be required to take an online training class, for which they will be paid $75. They will be paid $110 for working on Election Day. Poll workers are required to complete necessary paperwork for county employment.
