"South Carolina election officials are extending voter registration deadlines because of closures caused by Hurricane Matthew and the upcoming federal holiday.\n\nElection officials said Thursday that&amp;nbsp;they will accept applications postmarked as late as Tuesday. The deadline had been Saturday.\n\nSouth Carolina is among states where voter applications are accepted up to 30 days before an election. That falls on a Sunday this year. Monday is Columbus Day, when there will be no postal service.\n\nThe election agency said&amp;nbsp;the extension will also help people who cannot register in person at&amp;nbsp;government offices that are closed as Matthew approaches.\n\nApplications submitted online or by email will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. Sunday. The deadline for people applying in person at county voter registration offices is still Saturday.\n\nMore information about elections in the state can be found online.\n\nGet complete Hurricane Matthew coverage and notifications on breaking information from the WJCL app!&amp;nbsp;Download FREE for your iPhone or Android."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
