South Dakota held an election for attorney general on November 6, 2018.

In South Dakota, political parties nominate state executive candidates at their conventions instead of holding a primary. The only office this does not apply to is governor. The Democratic Party state convention was held from June 15 to June 16. The Republican Party state convention was held from June 20 to June 23. The Libertarian Party held its state convention on April 14.[1]

SETTING THE STAGE

* Heading into the 2018 election, the attorney general of South Dakota was Marty J. Jackley (R), who was first appointed to the position by former Gov. Mike Rounds (R) on August 14, 2009, and was elected to full terms in 2010 and 2014. Jackley was prevented by term limits from seeking a third full term in 2018.
* In 2018, South Dakota was under a Republican trifecta. It had held this status since Republicans gained a majority in the South Dakota State Senate in 1995. South Dakota was also a Republican triplex.
* South Dakota was won by the Republican candidate in each of the presidential elections between 2000 and 2016. The widest margin of victory was Donald Trump's 30 percent margin in 2016, while the narrowest was John McCain's eight percent margin in 2008.
