THE State Government is set to dump more than 20 pieces of legislation it had committed to deliver, including a Bill to strengthen child protection, and laws it promised as part of the Governments response to the child abuse inquiry.

With only three sitting days left before the election, the Government will enter the final sitting week with more than 40 pieces of outstanding legislation on the notice paper of both houses.

The Government hopes to pass more than 10 Bills this week, but will be limited to two days of debate.

In the last sitting week of 2010 the Brumby Government had seven Bills on the list to be debated.

Among the legislation set to be dumped is a Bill which paves the way for the old Melbourne Market site to be handed over to the construction company building the East West Link tollway, which could further delay the project.

Laws to ban synthetic drugs and a Bill to improve the conduct of councillors spruiked by the government as some of the most significant reforms to local government in 20 years will also be binned.

And in a bizarre move, more legislation will be introduced on Tuesday to the already bulging legislative agenda.

Government spokesman Mark Lee said the government would bring forward priority Bills and other legislation would be reintroduced if the Government is re-elected.

COLUMBIA - South Carolina's major political parties are stepping up their efforts to push for absentee voting as Election Day nears.

As of 4:45 p.m. Friday, more than 50,000 voters had requested an absentee ballot either by mail or in person, and more than 32,000 absentee ballots had been issued, according to the South Carolina State Election Commission.

That's consistent with the absentee activity this early out during the 2010 General Election, commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said.

Four years ago, more than 153,702 voted absentee - about 11 percent of the total vote.

With voter turnout being historically lower during these midterm elections, both Republicans and Democrats alike are targeting their voters who might have difficulty making it to the voting booths on Nov. 4.

The South Carolina Republican Party, for example, launched the website SCAbsentee.com, which allows for voters to fill out their information to request an absentee ballot.

"We are aggressively seeking absentee votes," said state GOP Chair Matt Moore. "We want turnout of Republicans to be as high as possible."

The decision to push for absentee voting stems from a perceived trend that voters are starting to lean more toward participating in elections before Election Day, Moore said.

Another likely reason is that there's not a lot of enthusiasm surrounding this midterm election in South Carolina, said Kendra Stewart, a political science professor at the College of Charleston.

Neither party can count on heavy voter turnout on Election Day.
