South Carolina Statutes § 7-5-240 Proceedings on appeal in court of common pleas

Any person denied registration or restoration of his name on the registration books and desiring to appeal must within ten days after written notice to him of the decision of the county board of voter registration and elections file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within ten days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board shall file with the clerk of court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar number four. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board four days' written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be de novo.
