Elections matter.
Voting is a fundamental right of our democracy. The decisions made on school boards, in city halls, at the state legislature, and in Congress impact the lives of all South Dakota residents. And while there are so many ways to influence our elected officials, there is only one way to determine who those officials will be: by voting.
In 2019, there are elections happening around the state that warrant your attention.
Below are local races that you can be a part of in your community. But as always, make sure your voter registration is up to date before taking off to the polls.
