Secretary of State Monae Johnson is encouraging voters to check their polling location before they head out to vote during the Tuesday, November 5th General Election. The Secretary of State’s website provides guidance on finding your polling location, tracking your absentee ballot application, and viewing your sample ballot at https://vip.sdsos.gov/VIPLogin.aspx.
Secretary Johnson reminds voters they must provide a photo identification (ID) card when voting, which may be any of the following:
- A South Dakota driver’s license or nondriver ID card;
- A U.S. government photo ID (e.g., passport);
- A U.S. Armed Forces ID;
- A current student photo ID from a South Dakota high school or college; or
- A Tribal ID.
If a voter does not have a photo ID, they may be given the option to sign a personal identification affidavit under the penalty of perjury and vote a regular ballot.
