• Register to vote or update your voter registration and vote on the same day

Voters will use a touch screen to make their selections on ballot marking devices. When finished, the voter will print out the official ballot, review it and hand it to a poll worker to insert it in the ballot box to be counted at the Registrar’s office. The ballot marking device does not store, tabulate or count any votes.

Remember that campaigning or electioneering within 100 feet of a vote center or official ballot drop box is not allowed. This includes the visible display or audible dissemination of information that advocates for or against any candidate on the ballot. Additionally, an individual may not circulate any petitions, including for initiatives, referenda, recall or candidate nominations.

Or return your ballot through the U.S. Postal Service as long as it’s postmarked by Aug. 15.If you already returned your mail ballot, you can confirm when it was received by the Registrar’s office at sdvote.com.
