See who Sioux Falls-area voters chose in the South Dakota Senate, House primary election
Voters in and around Sioux Falls cast ballots Tuesday in a dozen different legislative primary contests that set the stage for the November general election.
And in some cases, the victors of Tuesday's primaries will go on to be seated in the Legislature in January 2023 with no regard for the November ballot due to a lack of Democratic candidates in the races.
RESULTS: South Dakota primary
