EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 96-09


WHEREAS, Executive Order Number 95-03 was issued by Governor Campbell on January 9, 1995, in response to the federally-mandated National Voter Registration Act of 1993; and

WHEREAS, Executive Order Number 95-03 provided voter registration opportunities at the Department of Revenue, the Division of Motor Vehicles, and the Department of Health and Environmental Control; and

WHEREAS, Executive Order Number 95-03 requires the State Election Commission to provide post-paid voter registration by mail forms to those specified agencies for distribution to the public; and

WHEREAS, following the recent court-ordered implementation of the National Voter Registration Act, South Carolina is actively offering voter registration services at ten State Agencies; and

WHEREAS, because of the cost incurred in providing the post-paid forms at the named agencies as well as the cost of the court-ordered implementation of the National Voter Registration Act, these post-paid registration forms are an expensive duplication of a now-provided service.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Governor of the State of South Carolina and pursuant to the Constitution and Laws of this State, It Is Ordered that Executive Order Number 95-03 be and it hereby is rescinded.

GIVEN UNDER MY HAND AND THE
