Date Changes for Some Local Elections in 2026
Starting this year, municipal and school elections will be held in June or November. Previously, they were typically held in April.
In 2025, the South Dakota Legislature passed a law changing the permissible dates for municipal and school district elections. Those elections must now coincide with either the June primaries or the November general election. The new law — which takes effect for elections happening in 2026 — also affects filing dates and other deadlines for candidates.
