​Chesney Garnos with election results from this week’s primary elections in South Dakota. Is a dynamic change brewing for the state legislature? 
PictureChesney Garnos
by Chesney Garnos, Director of Political & Grassroots Affairs

In South Dakota's primary elections held this week on Tuesday, June 4th, only a fraction of registered voters participated, casting ballots in various competitive races. It is reported that 17% of all registered voters turned in their absentee ballots or showed up at the polls.
​
Despite low voter turnout, this year’s primary elections were some of the most expensive to date in South Dakota history. Some individuals spent more than $50,000 in their primary race. Additionally, PAC (political action committee) contributions were significantly higher this year, with most organizations that provide PAC dollars supporting incumbent candidates. While many of the contested primaries were expected to be tight battles, this year’s primary took a lot of unpredicted turns. Specifically, 13 incumbent seats were flipped, including some tenured Republicans in leadership positions across various districts in South Dakota.

Due to Tuesday’s primary results, the 2025 legislative body is foreseen to diverge from previous years. This year's election has not only reshaped the legislature for the future, but also reflects a dynamic change in the political environment in South Dakota, which could ultimately influence policies for the generations to come in the state.
Results below as of 2 a.m. June 5. For updates on potential recounts, visit the South Dakota Secretary of State’s website. As always, feel free to contact me with any advocacy or legislative questions.
