Fax Your South Carolina Ballot From Overseas
South Carolina accepts a voted ballot returned by fax.
South Carolina lets a UOCAVA voter, military or overseas, return a voted absentee ballot to the county voter registration and elections office by email, mail, fax, or in person, following the return instructions the county sends with the ballot. Source

What goes in the fax
Fax the pages together, to the line your election office uses for ballots.
Every page of it, including any page you left blank.
The South Carolina Election Commission names no separate oath, cover sheet, or secrecy waiver for a faxed ballot and publishes no form URL for one; the county elections office sends its specific return instructions with the ballot.

South Carolina sends the ballot fax number with your ballot. Each county is below with a number to call first.

Call before you send. Fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the ballot fax number and whether the office has your ballot request. An office’s general fax is not always its ballot line.
Deadlines
A South Carolina UOCAVA ballot returned by email, fax, or personal delivery must reach the county elections office no later than 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Election Day; only a mailed ballot may be mailed by that hour and arrive later.

Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A ballot packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second ballot in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
Questions
Can I fax my South Carolina ballot from any country?
Yes. Your county has a US fax number, and a fax to it goes out the same way wherever you are. Whether it arrives depends on the office's line, which is why each row has a number to call first.
What if my county's fax line doesn't answer?
Call the number in your county's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed.
My county's row has no ballot fax. Where do I send it?
To the fax number that came with your ballot. South Carolina gives it there rather than on a public list. If you can't find it, call the number in your county's row.
Do I need my own fax number to send my ballot?
No. Sending needs only the fax number your election office uses. A number of your own matters only if you want the blank ballot faxed to you.
Is this an official South Carolina election site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. South Carolina's rules come from its election authority and your county, linked under official sources.
