Remember, they look a little different now. The Registrar’s voter information pamphlets changed in March. They provide the same important information but are larger in size, like the Secretary of State’s Voter Information Guide.
The Registrar’s pamphlets contain information on voting options, election deadlines, candidate statements, ballot measures and more. It also includes a sample of what your official ballot will look like.
Voters may also see their pamphlets online with the View A Voter Information Pamphlet (Sample Ballot) tool at sdvote.com.
If you signed up to get your voter information pamphlet electronically, you should have received an email giving you the same information and a link to your pamphlet.
Voters who want to be among the first to see their pamphlet every election can sign up to receive all future pamphlets electronically. Voters who take this option will no longer receive a paper copy in the mail but will get an email when the pamphlet becomes available online.
If you plan on voting in person, be prepared. Due to the large number of contests on the ballot, it will take longer to complete the ballot. Read your pamphlet and mark your selections on the sample ballot in advance. When you go inside the voting booth at the vote center, you can refer to your choices on the sample ballot to quickly mark your selections on your official ballot.
Meantime, the Registrar is still looking for poll workers, especially bilingual poll workers.
