"Yes, South Carolina did have voter registration during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War, including in 1868, when a new state constitution was adopted. However, this registration process would have been recorded by local government officials rather than through what we might think of as a modern "voter application."
The 1868 constitution marked a significant period in South Carolina's history because it extended voting rights to Black men, many of whom registered to vote for the first time. Records of voter registrations from this time may still exist in archives or historical collections, though they may be referred to as voter registration lists or rolls rather than applications.
If you are researching this for historical purposes, it may be worth checking with the South Carolina Department of Archives and History or local historical societies for any surviving documents."
