Absentee voting for South Dakota’s 2024 General Election has been going on for about one month and Hughes County Finance Officer Thomas Oliva says people are taking the opportunity to cast their ballot.
Oliva says he’ll hold election school for the poll workers on November 1, 2024.
Sometimes finding enough poll workers can be a challenge, but Oliva says this year “has been easier than most.”
Voters can absentee vote at their local county auditor’s office through Nov. 4. On Nov. 5, polls will be open from 7am-7pm local time.
The South Dakota Secretary of State’s office encourages all voters to use the Voter Information Portal at sdsos.gov to see their sample ballot. Along with various candidates for office, there are seven measures on the ballot. The Attorney General’s Office provides a neutral explanation for each of those measures in the “2024 Ballot Questions” pamphlet. The pamphlet also includes information supplied by supporters and by those opposed.
Additionally, the AG’s explanations are printed on the sample ballots that are currently available, as well as being printed on the actual ballots people use to vote. The information from the opponents and proponents is not printed on the actual ballots. Voters are allowed to print a sample ballot, fill it out at home and bring it with them as a guide when they cast their official ballot.
