COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Saturday is the last day South Carolina residents can register to vote in November's election.

A number of voter registration offices in counties across the state will be open for a few hours Saturday morning. But residents also have an online choice.

South Carolina this week began offering registration on its website at www.scvotes.org . Residents will need their driver's license or state identification card number. That information is checked with the Department of Motor Vehicles database. The state Election Commission will then mail a voter registration card out.

State law requires registration at least 31 days ahead of an election. This year's general election is scheduled for Nov. 6.
