The county registrar reminded residents that campaigning or electioneering within 100 feet of a vote center or official ballot drop box is not allowed. That includes the visible display or audible dissemination of information that advocates for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot.
Additionally, an individual may not circulate any petitions, including for initiatives, referenda, recall or candidate nominations.
Voters can still mark their ballots from home. Ballots should be signed and dated, then sealed and retured to one of the registrar’s official ballot drop boxes. Ballots can be mailed as long as they are postmarked on or before Nov. 7.
Information on official ballot drop boxes or vote centers is available inside voter information pamphlets, or online at sdvote.com.
