COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The executive director of the South Carolina Election Commission will leave her post at the end of the year after overseeing the state’s ballot box process for nearly two decades, she wrote in her resignation letter.
Marci Andino informed the board’s chairman on Wednesday that her last day would be Dec. 31, according to the letter obtained by news outlets. It doesn’t specify a specific reason for leaving.
“I have dedicated most of my life’s work to ensuring my fellow South Carolinians had the opportunity to vote in fair and impartial elections,” Andino wrote. “As I near the fulfillment of the duties of my current post, I stand proud of our accomplishments. And as I plan for future opportunities, I will always remain steadfast in my dedication to the preservation of our democracy.”
