For the next week the South Dakota Department of Transportation will be resurfacing three bridge near the courthouse. This is causing traffic congestion in front of the courthouse.  If you have business with the courthouse that can wait until next week it may be worth your time to wait.  Work is scheduled to end June 11th.

Don’t forget to vote at your polling place on June 7th between 7 am and 7 pm! Early voting is still available at the Auditor’s office until 5 pm on Monday June 6th. We hope to see you all!

You can check out sample ballots on the Auditor’s election page.
