South Dakota Legislature
How your South Dakota legislators vote
Find your state senator and your state representatives (two in most districts, one in Districts 26 and 28). See how often they vote with the leader of their chamber and with their party, how often they didn't vote, and how many of their bills passed, in the 2025 and 2026 sessions.
Your South Dakota legislators
The Legislature, liberal to conservative
Hover over or tap a seat to see who sits there. Your legislators are marked after you look them up.
Color shows how often each member crosses party lines toward the middle on votes that divide the parties: solid blue or red means almost never, and purple means on at least half of those votes. Gray seats are members too new to score. How these numbers work

Latest contested votes
Each seat is a legislator, colored by how they voted.
Each chamber and its leader
Each tick is a current member: how often they voted the same way as the leader of their chamber on contested votes.
Speaker Jon Hansen leads the House.
Typical Republican: 60%. Typical Democrat: 35%. 367 contested roll calls of 658.
Senate President Pro Tempore Chris Karr, a senator the Senate elected to lead it, leads the Senate; the Lieutenant Governor presides as its President but isn't a senator and votes only to break a tie.
Typical Republican: 62%. Typical Democrat: 42%. 284 contested roll calls of 650.
