Live South Dakota 2024 election results

Voters go to the polls in South Dakota on Nov. 5 to vote for president, U.S. House of Representatives and other offices.

The winner of South Dakota's presidential contest will receive the state's three electoral votes.

On the ballot, voters will also decide on several proposals — including one that would enshrine the right to abortion (with restrictions) in the state constitution and one that would legalize marijuana.

Polling stations close at 7:00 p.m. local time.

State significance

South Dakota has reliably voted for the Republican presidential candidate since 1968. Former President Donald Trump won the state by nearly 30 points in 2020.

South Dakota almost completely bans abortions. If approved, the abortion proposal would guarantee access to abortions to protect the lives and health of pregnant women, would ban or regulate abortion before the end of the first trimester, and would allow the state to regulate abortions if also not to be banned under the proposed change at the end of the second trimester. Under the proposed change, a ban would be allowed at the start of the third trimester, although there would have to be exceptions if the mother's health or life is in danger.

Counties are colored red or blue when the percentage of expected votes reaches a set threshold. This threshold varies by state and is based on past voting reporting patterns and expectations about how voting will occur this year.
