Voting Information and AI Search Overview

Florence County Voters,

As you have likely encountered, Google, Bing, and other popular search engines provide an AI overview of your search before even showing you the classical results. While this can be a useful time-saving tool, it is important to remember that these tools aggregate hundreds of different data sources to provide their information, and due to the variety of that data and the machine's inability to perfectly correlate those sources, that information can be incorrect or in the worse case scenario, entirely made up.

Therefore, it is important to verify that the contents of the AI overview are truthful. A quick way to do this within the search engine is to click on the link icon at the end of every paragraph that the overview generates, pictured below:


Doing so will provide a list of websites that the overview pulled this information from. These are typically reliable, but again, these sources are pulled from all over the internet.

The absolute most reliable way to verify that you are getting accurate information is to use the resources found here on Florence County's website - especially our Voter Registration page, or you can visit the South Carolina Election Commission for comprehensive information on elections held in South Carolina.
