South Dakota results by county
Unofficial
Unofficial results. These are the totals on the South Dakota Secretary of State’s election results site (electionresults.sd.gov), saved 2026-11-13 05:48 UTC; the page prints no update time. They are unofficial and not certified: counties canvass their results and the State Board of Canvassers certifies the election, and counts can change in that process. We replace this note once South Dakota certifies.

- The 2026 numbers are unofficial and not certified. They are the Secretary of State’s results site, saved 2026-11-13 05:48 UTC. The feed also sets a winner flag; we ignore it and call nothing.
- Write-in votes are not in the feed, so totals are votes for the candidates listed. County turnout is not in the feed. County and local contests (50 office titles, such as county commissioner, school board and city questions) and the four constitutional amendments are not on this page.
- The 2022 and 2024 figures are from the Secretary of State’s official returns booklets, not the election night archive feed, which differs from the booklet in 61 of 82 contests in 2024. Two seats are read from the sworn State Board of Canvassers certificate because the booklet block was wrong or unreadable (2024 State Senate 17, 2022 State Senate 7). State House 15 (Minnehaha) was recounted in both years and uses the recount figures.
- The U.S. Senate race in 2026 has a Republican and an independent candidate and no Democrat, so it is compared with 2022 for the same office, a different seat, and its margin cell reads “No Democratic candidate”.
- These are the totals on the South Dakota Secretary of State’s election results site, saved 2026-11-13 05:48 UTC; the page prints no update time. They are unofficial and not certified. The site flags all 671 precincts as reported, but counties still canvass and the State Board of Canvassers certifies, so counts can change.
- Totals are votes for the candidates listed. Write-in votes are not in the feed. County turnout is not in the feed either, so it is not shown.
The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows the South Dakota Secretary of State’s unofficial results site as saved 2026-11-13 05:48 UTC, not certified. See the state page.

- Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes cast in the county. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the election you compare with. A shift compares shares, so a county can move even when its winner does not change. Different offices and turnout levels differ, so read it as a pattern, not a prediction.
