Legislator Scorecard

The Legislator Scorecard shares how each of the elected officials for the 2023-2024 Legislative Session voted on laws pertaining to South Carolina's Death Penalty. At this time, we are focusing only on the last two bills that have become law: The Firing Squad Bill (S.B. 200) and the Lethal Injection Secrecy Bill (S.B. 120)

Nay = Anti-Death Penalty

No Vote or Abstained Vote = Possible Ally

Yay = Pro-Death Penalty
