RAPID CITY, S.D. – Members of Indivisible Rapid City gathered in downtown Rapid City on Friday to encourage South Dakotans to take advantage of early voting ahead of the upcoming midterm election.
The rally took place at the corner of Sixth and St. Joseph streets and featured two large hand-painted banners carrying the messages “Had enough?” and “Your vote matters.”
Organizers said the event’s focus was raising awareness about early voting, which began September 18 in South Dakota and continues through November 2 in Pennington County, the day before Election Day.
Roseanna Renaud of Indivisible Rapid City said the group’s message is simple: vote early and remember that every vote counts. The organization describes itself as a grassroots, nonpartisan group dedicated to civic engagement and government accountability.
Organizers say they hope the event encourages more residents to participate in the election process and make their voices heard at the ballot box.
