Absentee voting for November General Election begins Friday

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The November 5 General Election is fast approaching, and South Dakotans wishing to vote absentee will soon be able to cast their ballot.

The absentee voting period begins Friday, September 20, according to the South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office.

To request an absentee ballot, voters must submit an absentee ballot application form to the county auditor. Absentee ballot application forms may be requested from the county auditor or downloaded from the Secretary of State’s website at www.sdsos.gov.

Officials say South Dakota law states voters submitting an absentee ballot application form must include a photocopy of an acceptable photo identification card or have the form notarized. Acceptable photo identification cards include a South Dakota driver’s license or non-driver ID card, tribal photo ID, passport or other picture ID issued by the United States government, or a current student photo ID issued by a South Dakota high school or postsecondary education institution.
