Absentee voting is now underway for the registered voters in Minnehaha County for the primary election to be held June 2.
Auditors are encouraging everyone to request their absentee ballot by mail.
Voters may access the absentee ballot request form on the Secretary of State website at www.sdsos.gov. Click on Request Absentee Ballot and look for the link to download an application.
A copy of your ID is required. If you do not have access to a copy machine, a photo of your ID can be emailed to elections@minnehahacounty.org.
Complete and sign the application and mail it to your Auditor’s Office, or use the drop box located on the west entrance foyer of the county administration building.
If you do not have access to a computer, you may request a ballot simply by writing a letter:
State the address where you want the ballot mailed, sign the letter, attach a copy of your ID or email a photo to elections@minnehahacounty.org
Mail it to the auditor’s office or drop the letter in the drop box on the west entrance foyer of the county administration building.
If you absolutely must go to the auditor’s office to vote “in person”, absentee voting will be held at 220 W. 6th Street, just east of the administration building, in between the Clocktower Museum and the administration building. The auditor’s office phone number is 605-367-4220.
Please do not go to the county administration building if you are feeling ill or have any symptoms of COVID19.
