Absentee Voter Applications Going Out

The South Dakota Secretary of State office will be mailing absentee ballot applications to all South Dakota registered voters.  The applications will be mailed between April 17-24.  Voters are encouraged to complete their application as soon as possible to allow for delivery and processing time.  Fall River and Oglala Lakota voters should send their application to:

Fall River & Oglala Lakota County Auditor

Hot Springs, SD 57747

State law requires that applications be notarized OR include a photocopy of an acceptable photo ID card.  Those without access to a photo copier can take a photo of their ID using their phone or camera and email the photo to [email protected]  or text the photo to 605-890-3020.  For additional questions contact the Auditor’s Office at [email protected] or 605-745-5130.
