South Dakota voters prepare for November election on multiple measures

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 23:44 · Archive

South Dakota voters will choose on four ballot measures in November, with polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

South Dakota voters are encouraged to confirm their polling locations before 3 November, as the Secretary of State's Office warns that polling places may have changed since the last election. Voters can use the state's Voter Information Portal to check their registration status, find their assigned polling place and view a sample ballot. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. Voters should bring acceptable photo identification, such as a South Dakota driver license or qualifying government or tribal ID. Those without acceptable ID can cast a regular ballot by signing a personal identification affidavit.

South Dakotans will vote on four ballot measures in November. Amendment I proposes ending Medicaid expansion coverage if federal funding falls below 90%. A KELOLAND/Emerson College poll of just over 800 likely voters found that 59% oppose this amendment, while 27% support it and 14% are undecided. Amendment J would amend the state constitution to clarify that only United States citizens may vote, with 64% of polled voters supporting it, 33% opposing and 3% unsure.

Amendment K would allow unclaimed intangible property to earn interest once returned to the State Treasurer, with portions used for the state's general fund. Examples of such property include travellers' cheques, money orders, bank deposits and stocks. The poll found 41% of voters support Amendment K, 30% oppose it and 29% are undecided. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5%.
