Tomorrow (Sept. 25) is National Voter Registration Day.
Sec. of State Shantel Krebs says while our state has made great progress with 592,762 South Dakota residents currently registered to vote, there are an additional 56,902 people who are at least 18 years of age but are not yet registered.
Voter registration events planned in Pierre include:
- League of Women Voters Pierre outside the US Post Office from 8:30am-5:30pm
- Rawlins Municipal Library from noon-7pm
South Dakota residents can also register to vote at their local county auditor’s office across the state, as well as the Secretary of State’s office in the Capitol Building in Pierre.
The South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office has a Voter Information Portal available on their website to enable current registered voters to confirm their registration status, find their polling place, track their absentee ballot, and view their sample ballot. https://vip.sdsos.gov/VIPLogin.aspx
