Follow for live updates on the South Carolina Republican primary.

The foursome of early Republican nominating contests will soon come to a close with the South Carolina primary, following the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary last month and the Nevada primary and caucuses this month.

Heres what to know.

Saturday, Feb. 24.

South Carolina has no formal party registration, so registered voters can participate in the primary regardless of whether they identify as Republicans, Democrats or independents.

However, if you voted in the Democratic primary this month, you cant vote in the Republican one, too.

The polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern time. (You can find your polling location here.) You can also vote early from now through Feb. 22 except for Feb. 18-19 but your early-voting location may be different from your Election Day polling site, so be sure to check here.

Either way, youll need to show photo identification.

Some South Carolinians can cast absentee ballots by mail. You can find out whether youre eligible for that here.

Unfortunately, if youre not already registered to vote, its too late to do so for this primary; the deadline was last month. But you can find the information you need here to register in time for the nonpresidential primaries in June when congressional, state legislative and local races will be on the ballot and the general election in November.
