2. Your postcard should arrive shortly. It is an opportunity for registered voters to exercise their constitutional right to vote. This Gubernatorial Primary Election will be the first election held under the Voter's Choice Act, which offers three options for returning the ballot. Voters can return it by mail, to a registrar's secure drop box, or any vote center in the county. Voters can instead vote in person at any official vote center in the county, over multiple days. Have you recently moved? Have you recently changed your name? If so, you need to re-register to vote at sdvote.com. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (Patch Press Release)
