Polls are open: Don’t forget your ID, and other helpful information

It’s Election Day 2024, and South Dakota polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

Registered voters searching for their polling place can find it in the state’s Voter Information Portal at vip.sdsos.gov/VIPLogin.aspx.

South Dakotans going to the polls today should bring an accepted form of identification, such as a South Dakota driver’s license or non-driver ID card, tribal ID, passport, student ID issued by a South Dakota high school or college, or any other photo ID issued by the U.S. government. Voters who do not have ID must be given the option to sign a personal affidavit swearing to their identity.

There are more than 600,000 registered voters in South Dakota, and more than 20% of them — about 140,000 — had already voted early or absentee by last Friday. Some election officials are predicting turnout around 70% or higher by the time polls close, which means voters could encounter lines at polling places.

South Dakota Searchlight reporters will visit polling places today, monitor watch parties tonight, and report results as they become available after 8 p.m. Central/7 p.m. Mountain from the South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office. The office compiles all the results from the state’s 66 counties, where votes are tallied.
