Voter information[edit]
How the primary works[edit]
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In South Dakota, the Democratic Party conducts a semi-closed primary, in which both registered party members and unaffiliated voters may participate. The Republican Party limits participation in its primary to registered party members.[2][3][4][5]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Poll times[edit]
In South Dakota, all polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If the polls close while you are still in line, you will be permitted to vote. South Dakota is divided between Central and Mountain time zones.[6]
Registration requirements[edit]
To register to vote in South Dakota, an applicant must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of South Dakota, and at least 18 years old by the day of the next election.[7]
The deadline to register to vote is 15 days before the next election. To register, an applicant may submit a voter registration form to the county auditor. Prospective voters can also register in person at the county auditor's office, driver's license stations, certain public assistance agencies, or military recruitment offices.[7]

South Dakota does not practice automatic voter registration.

Voters can present the following forms of identification:

- U.S. Armed Forces ID
- Current student photo identification card from a South Dakota high school or South Dakota accredited institution of higher education

If a voter does not have a photo ID, he or she can sign a personal identification affidavit. The voter will then be given a regular ballot.

Absentee voting[edit]
All voters are eligible to vote absentee in South Dakota. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting absentee.[9][10]
To vote absentee, an absentee ballot application must be received by county election officials no later than 5 p.m. the day before the election. A completed absentee ballot must then be received by election officials by the close of polls on Election Day.[11]
