PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) — Tuesday is Primary Election Day in South Dakota.
While questions of election integrity have been raised nationally, it has not been an issue in South Dakota.
The state’s chief election officer is Secretary of State Steve Barnett.
Barnett says two years ago, a record-high number of South Dakotans were casting absentee ballots because of COVID-19. But not this year…
Barnett says poll workers are the unsung heroes of any election.
Statewide races on Tuesday’s ballot include Republican primaries for governor, U.S. House, and U.S. Senate.
Amendment C, which would increase the passage rate to 60% from 50% on initiated measures that deal with taxes or funding is also on the ballot.
There are also a number of Republican primaries in several legislative House and Senate districts.
