7 measures to make a lengthy ballot in SD
Constitutional Amendment E
Amendment E proposes an elimination of references to men regarding various state offices and, by so doing, make the constitution more open to women and men alike. It would remove gender referenced in the constitution.
Constitutional Amendment F
Amendment F would further amend the South Dakota Constitution so that the state government could place work requirements on many of the adults enrolled in Medicaid benefits under the expanded eligibility.
Constitutional Amendment G
A ‘yes’ vote on Amendment G would support South Dakota providing a state constitutional right to an abortion under a specific framework.
Constitutional Amendment H
Amendment H would eliminate partisan primaries such as Democratic Party or Republican Party primaries within the state. Rather, voters would vote for whatever candidate they like in an open primary, and the top two voters would face off in the general election, regardless of which party they belong to.
Initiated Measure 28
IM 28, if passed, would begin the process to remove the sales tax from some items meant for human consumption.
Initiated Measure 29
IM 29 is a ballot measure intended to legalize adult-use recreational marijuana in the state of South Dakota.
Referred Law 21
Referred Law 21 is Senate Bill 201 which passed the State Legislature in 2024. The state Attorney General said the law allows counties to impose a $1 per foot surcharge on carbon dioxide pipelines, requires CO2 pipelines to be buried at a minimum depth and requires that business operations must be started within five years of the easement. A yes vote on Referred Law 21 would allow the bill to become law.
