South Dakotans have until Monday (May 23, 2022) to register to vote in order to be eligible to cast a ballot in the June 7, 2022, Primary Election.
Secretary of State Steve Barnett says voter participation is the foundation of our democracy and he encourages every eligible South Dakota resident who is not yet registered to complete the process and ensure your voice is heard. He says voter registration forms must be received by your county auditor by 5pm local time on May 23.
Voter registration in South Dakota is conducted by each county auditor and municipal finance officer. In addition, you may also register to vote at one of the following locations:
- Driver license exam stations
- Public assistance agencies providing food stamps, Medicaid, TANF, or WIC
- Department of Human Services offices that provide assistance to the disabled
- Military recruitment offices
- Secretary of State’s Office
Voter registration information is available on the Secretary of State’s website at https://sdsos.gov. A voter registration form may be downloaded from the website and returned to your county auditor. The deadline for voter registration in South Dakota is 15 days prior to the election you wish to vote in.
