Sioux Falls election season arrives
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Sioux Falls voters will head to the polls on June 2nd for the municipal election. Residents will elect a new mayor, and four council seats will be up for grabs in June. City Clerk Jermery Washington encourages people thinking about running for office to begin the process.
The window for nominating petitions opened on Monday.
“Anyone who’s interested in running you are more than welcome to come talk to us at the city clerks office, which is something we actually recommend people do, or you can print the nominating petitions online yourself and start circulating on your own like that,” said Washington.
Those running for mayor need 200 signatures from registered voters, council hopefuls need 50 signatures by March 24th. Absentee voting will begin on April 17th and the deadline to register to vote in the municipal election is May 18th. Washington recommends people check their voters registration by going to VIP.sdsos.gov
