SD Voter Registration Deadline Oct 19th

Anyone unsure of their registration status may check it in the South Dakota secretary of state’s Voter Information Portal at vip.sdsos.gov/viplogin.aspx. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 19. The SD Legislature passed a law in 2026, that requires proof of citizenship for new registrations (not for folks already registered). Registration applications and instructions are available from the secretary of state and county auditors. You may wish to consult with SOS or auditors on what type of proof of citizenship they will accept, so you have it when registering. You may wish to check with County Auditors as to the hours their offices are open .

Items on ballots in South Dakota include four proposed state constitutional amendments; races for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor and the SD Legislature; and various local races and ballot questions. Sample ballots are available in the state’s Voter Information Portal.
