SECTION 3. The Saluda County Election Commission and the Registration Board for Saluda County are abolished. The powers and duties of the Commissioners of Election and the Registration Board are devolved upon the commission created in Section 1.

SECTION 4. On the effective date of this act, the terms of the then present members of the Saluda County Election Commission and the Board of Registration for Saluda County expire and the members of the Registration and Elections Commission for Saluda County appointed in the manner provided in Section 1 of this act shall take office.

SECTION 5. This act takes effect ninety days after approval by the Governor.
