SECTION 1. Section 7-7-80 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 342 of 1982, is further amended to
read:
"Section 7-7-80. All the precinct names, precinct lines, and polling places in Anderson County are as
shown on maps filed with the Clerk of Court of the county, the State Election Commission, and the Division
of Research and Statistical Services of the State Budget and Control Board as of October 1, 1983. The written
descriptions of the precinct names, lines, and polling places must be filed with the maps.
Following the annexation to the city of Anderson of any area not including a voting place and before a
polling place has been established, it is lawful for any qualified voter residing in such area at the time of the
annexation to vote in any general, special, municipal, or primary election, if otherwise qualified, upon
production of a registration certificate showing that he is duly registered in the precinct from which the
annexed area was taken. Any voter participating in the election must vote at the polling place in the
municipality nearest his residence and must furnish the managers with evidence satisfactory to them of his
residence within the annexed area. When any person has voted under the provisions of this section, one of
the managers shall forthwith write across the back of his registration certificate the word 'voted' with the date
on which the election is held and the initials of the managers."
