on the ballot in South Dakota, a candidate for state or federal office must meet a variety of state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. <b>These regulations, known as ballot access laws, determine whether a candidate or party will appear on an election ballot.</b> These laws are set at the state level. A candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election. </p><p>There are three basic methods by which an individual may become a candidate for office in a state. </p> <ol><li>An individual can seek the nomination of a state-recognized political party.</li> <li>An individual can run as an independent.
