After a special session lasting three days, South Dakota legislators have approved– and Gov. Kristi Noem has signed– new political boundaries for the state for the next 10 years.
Senate Redistricting chair Senator Mary Duvall of Pierre says the final product took a lot of hard work and cooperation from a lot of people.
Duvall’s home district, District 24, like most other districts will be changing shape.
She says the new district boundaries go into effect for next year’s legislative races.
The map was approved in the House on a 37-31 vote. The Senate passed it on a 30-2 vote.
