Who is on my county council?

South Carolina county councils — all 46 counties, free, by address, ZIP, or a tap on the map.

Every South Carolina county is run by an elected county council. Since the Home Rule Act of 1975 the council adopts the county's budget, sets its property tax and passes its ordinances; most councils have between five and nine members. The lookup finds your council district and names who won its seat at the most recent election.

What the lookup shows

Select any point in South Carolina and the county council card names your council district and the member who won its seat, with the date of that election. Members elected by the whole county, such as a council chair or a county supervisor, are listed on the card for every district in that county.

Two counties have no council districts. Hampton County elects all five members by the whole county, and Jasper County elects all five by the whole county with four of them required to live in one of four townships. Both cards name all five members.

Where the names come from, and what they are not

Each name is the winner of that seat's most recent general election, in the South Carolina Election Commission's certified results. Council members serve four-year terms that are staggered, so the 2022 and 2024 elections between them name a winner for every seat. The list is re-read every week.

A winner is not always the person in the seat today. Someone who resigned or died still shows here, and a seat refilled at a special election shows the general election's winner, because the state's results page does not link county special elections. Each county's own council page was read beside the results, and where it names somebody else, calls the seat vacant or leaves the winner off, the map's card and the county's page here show both, each saying whose it is. Your county's own website is the current word.

Council seats are on the ballot on 3 November 2026. Until the winners of that election are added here, the names are the 2022 and 2024 winners.

Where the boundaries come from

The council district lines come from the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, which keeps one map of every county's council districts, and the county lines from the U.S. Census Bureau. Every source is on the sources & data layers page.

Not for legal or official use. Boundary and election data come from public sources that explicitly disclaim legal precision. Confirm officeholders with your county before relying on them for anything official.

Every county council, county by county

Every South Carolina county whose roster this project has: 46 counties, 334 people, each name the winner of that seat's most recent election in the South Carolina Election Commission's certified results, dated to it. 2 elect at large, with no districts.
