Poll security, early voting is a priority for Upstate election officials and organizations

Leading up to Election Day, election boards, poll workers and political organizations have worked tirelessly to prepare for a safe and efficient voting experience in the Upstate.

Jean LePere, a member of the League of Women Voters of Greenville County’s voter services team, has spent this election cycle helping register people to vote and answering questions about where and how to vote. She said there was a positive feeling about the events she worked on.

“I can tell you: there is a lot of enthusiasm. There is a real feeling that people want to do something,” LePere said. “I was surprised.
