South Carolina House of Representatives Medical Cannabis Voter Guide

Medical Cannabis Voter Guide
South Carolina House of Representatives
June 9, 2020 Primary Election

See below for a voter guide outlining where each primary candidate for the South Carolina House of Representatives stands on medical cannabis.

Candidates in green have indicated their support for medical cannabis in response to the South Carolina Compassionate Care Alliance’s (SCCCA) candidate survey or by cosponsoring a medical cannabis bill (if they are an incumbent). Candidates in red expressed opposition to medical cannabis, and candidates in orange are not known to have taken a public stance or replied that they are undecided.

If you don’t know your state House district, you can look it up here. After you fill in your information, the second section that displays will be your Voting Districts. Look for your “SC House District.”

You can vote in either party’s primary on June 9: South Carolina does not have registration by party. Only the Democrat and Republican parties have competitive primaries on June 9.

If your district is not listed below, there is not a competitive primary. Check back for our voter guide leading up to the General Election.
