Exit polls are predicting a victory for former House speaker Newt Gingrich over frontrunner Mitt Romney in South Carolina's primary, US media say.
Fox News, MSNBC and NBC called the vote in Mr Gingrich's favour almost immediately after the polls closed.
The election is a key test for the four major Republican candidates battling to be the party's candidate in November's presidential election.
The South Carolina victor has won the nomination in each election since 1980.
