The meetings are limited to five minutes, officials said, unless fewer people show up, in which case the meetings could be lengthened.

Appointments can be made by calling the governor's office at 803-734-2100 or by visiting the office from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those wishing to talk to the governor must also present a social security number and a valid photo identification.

Sanford promised the "Open Door After 4" sessions in his State of the State speech as a way of listening directly to constituents.
