RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — Midlands transit program COMET is offering free bus services to voters for Saturday's Democratic primary.
According to COMET, fixed route services will offer free rides to the polls all day Saturday in Richland and Lexington Counties.
"The lack of access to transportation disproportionately impacts minority voters, people with low incomes, persons with disabilities and younger voters," COMET wrote.
The transit service also took to social media to promote voting. On Facebook, COMET said it, "... wants to ensure that lack of transportation is not a reason for a person’s inability to exercise his or her right to vote by making the buses free on primary election day."
Any registered voter can vote in South Carolina's Democratic primary. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
