South Carolina requires a qualifying requestor
South Carolina sells voter lists directly to registered South Carolina voters — individuals only — so the candidate or a teammate who is an SC voter places the order. Local lists are inexpensive: a school-district or town-sized list typically runs $25–$275, a full county about $650, and statewide is capped at $2,500. Order online at vrems.scvotes.sc.gov/SaleableData (sign in with MySCVotes using your voter-registration details), download the file, then bring it into Activate with the Upload Your List button below. For races below the county level, the state recommends confirming current district boundaries with your county's voter registration office first.
