County Auditor in Bon Homme County, South Dakota

Must be a registered elector who is living in the area they seek to represent at the time of the election.

Each candidate needs to circulate a nominating petition and achieve the required amount of signatures. The required amount of signatures is based off of the last gubernatorial election. For a partisan candidate, you must obtain 1% of the total vote for your political party's candidate for governor at the last gubernatorial election or a maximum of 50, whichever is less, in the county or commissioner district (SDCL 12-6-7.1). An independent candidate must obtain 1% of the total vote for all candidates for governor at the last gubernatorial election in the county or commissioner district (SDCL 12-7-1). Candidates must obtain signatures from the political party they are registered to vote with; however, independent candidates may gather signatures from any registered voter. A candidate can purchase a voter registration list from the county auditor. The county auditor is allowed under law to charge for the voter list.

Submit paperwork to the County Auditor's office.
