Absentee voting for South Dakota primary underway

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – The South Dakota primary is less than two months away, and absentee voting is already underway.

Absentee voting is recommended for those who will not be able to vote in person at a polling place on election day.

If you find yourself in a position where you think you’ll need to send in an absentee vote, you’ll have to request a ballot application through your county’s auditor.

In the application, you must include a photocopy of an acceptable photo ID or have the form notarized. Plus, you must mail in the form in a timely manner.

If you plan to absentee vote in person, you’ll have to contact your county auditor for times when you can come in before June 6.

VIEWPOINT | South Dakotans deserve the full story

Families in South Dakota work hard. We sacrifice a lot and ask very little from the people who govern us. We expect honesty, careful budgeting, and leadership that puts our interests above politics.

In his recent budget address, our governor painted an incomplete picture. He celebrated good results but did not explain what and who made those results possible. South Dakotans deserve more than selective storytelling. We deserve the truth.
