SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The 2022 general election is just two months away and campaigns for local races are ramping up as November 8 draws closer.

KELOLAND News wants to help you get to know the candidates running in your district before you head to the ballot box. That’s why we reached out to every candidate running for a seat in the South Dakota Senate and House of Representatives to give voters a sense of who’s running for office.

South Dakota has 35 legislative districts, which were recently redrawn in 2021. You can find what district you’ll be voting in here. Not sure what district you live in? Find your voter registration information on the Secretary of State’s Voter Information Portal.
