Copied from the Secretary of State's official 2026 General Election Candidate List (withdrawn candidates removed). Party labels: R = Republican, D = Democratic, L = Libertarian, Ind. = Independent; city and conservation district races are nonpartisan. Where several at-large seats, trustees or supervisors are elected at once, the list does not give the number of seats; check your sample ballot.
Water development district and power district directors are elected across several counties and are on the Secretary of State's list, not on this page. Most South Dakota city and school elections are held in spring, not on Nov 3.
