Register to Vote
To vote for me in the Primary, you must be registered at your current address in District 18 (and as a a Republican) – This is particularly important if you’ve moved recently. If you need to update your registration, you must have that done by Monday, May 18 to vote in the June 2 primary. The printable form to update your registration is available here: https://sdsos.gov/elections-voting/assets/VoterRegistrationFormFillable.pdf (You can also do this in person at the County Auditor’s Office)

Ballots vary depending on where you live – you can view your particular sample ballot here: https://vip.sdsos.gov/VIPLogin.aspx (If you prefer to vote in person on election day, this page also tells you where your polling place will be.)
