| South Dakota allows voters that are currently registered to send their election official a scanned ballot request form by fax or as an email attachment. Please note that private email over the Internet is the least secure method of transfer for documents containing your confidential identity information. OVF strongly recommends regular mail and fax over email transfer. Uniformed Services voters and their dependents stationed in the United States only - South Dakota requires you to provide a photocopy of your valid ID. Acceptable ID is: A South Dakota Drivers License or non-driver ID card; a passport or other picture ID issued by the U.S. government; a tribal photo ID; a photo ID issued by a South Dakota postsecondary education institution. Should notarization of the stateside military voters signature be easier to obtain than a photocopy of the ID, a notarized absentee ballot application may be submitted. The notarization on the absentee ballot application can be administered by any commissioned officer in the military service of the United States. Uniformed Services voters stationed overseas and overseas citizens do not have notarization or additional ID requirements. | |||||
