Rapid City Area Schools Investigate Reports of Incorrect Ballots in Bond Election
Rapid City Area Schools, in collaboration with Pennington County election officials, is investigating reports of incorrect ballots distributed during the November 3 general election. The issue primarily affects precincts that span multiple school district boundaries, where some voters may have received ballots that did not correspond to their correct school district. District officials are actively working with the Pennington County Auditor’s Office to ascertain the total number of affected ballots and to determine if this discrepancy could potentially alter the outcome of the school bond election. The district is also reviewing necessary steps to address the situation and has committed to releasing further information as it becomes available. This investigation aims to ensure the integrity of the election process and the accuracy of the bond election results.
