Every registered voter in South Dakota deserves the right to vote. And voters deserve candidates who are accountable to the people of South Dakota - not to party bosses and special interests.

Opening South Dakota’s political primary system will give every registered voter in South Dakota the right to participate in primary elections - and give voters more choices in who represents us.

Open Primaries gives South Dakota’s 140,000 independent voters the right to vote in primaries.

About us

We are South Dakota Open Primaries – the 2024 open primaries ballot initiative campaign.

Our purpose is to build support among voters for a proposed 2024 constitutional ballot initiative that would establish open primary elections in South Dakota for statewide, legislative, and county offices.
