Join the ACLU's Election Protection Team

Volunteer with us! Join our election protection team.

Over the last few years, our elected leaders have passed several new laws under the guise of "restoring faith in our elections."

What these laws have really done, however, is create uncertainty and significant logistical challenges for voters across the state – and we've heard all about it. As voters prepare for the primary election, our office has been inundated with calls and emails from people facing multiple issues surrounding voter registration, absentee ballot access, confusion about voter qualification challenges, and more.

This means there is a significant likelihood that many South Dakota voters will be disenfranchised and will lose their ability to cast a ballot in the primary.

For years, the ACLU has been engaged in election protection efforts, working to ensure easy, fair, and safe access to the ballot box. This year, that work will be more important than ever – and we need your help.
