“South Dakota has a proud history of civic engagement, reflected by our current count of over 610,000 registered voters.” Secretary Johnson continued, “I urge every eligible South Dakota resident who hasn’t registered to do so. Your voice matters, make it count where it matters most by registering to vote or updating your existing registration today.”
