South Dakota Secretary of State Steve Barnett announced his office will mail absentee ballot applications to all South Dakotans registered in the statewide voter registration file, with
the exception of voters that have already applied for the 2020 election cycle or voters in counties sending applications on their own .

Absentee ballot applications are set to be mailed between April 17-24. Voters are encouraged to complete their application as soon as possible to allow for delivery and processing times. Once an
application is verified by the county auditor, a ballot will be mailed to the voter.
