Campaign and/or “get out the vote” workers are allowed (have been, so far) to take notes from time to time of those registered voters who have not yet voted. Campaign workers then pass these names on to phone bank workers (usually volunteers) who attempt to call the registered voter to remind them to vote (often with a plug for their candidate of choice).

Copies of registered voters are readily available to the public (sometimes called a “True List” — which makes it fairly easy to quickly view and compare the list of those who have voted and mark those who haven’t on one’s own list.

My anecdotal understanding is that such comparisons may only be done when doing so will not interfere with registered voters in the process of checking in (or out) with the election workers. The rule of the Assistant or Deputy Registrar at the polling location is absolute. Nonetheless, my experience is that these updates on who hasn’t voted are made many times during the day and early evening.

The South Carolina information appears out of order, before the Rhode Island information, and the state name is not bolded.
