The South Dakota Secretary of State election took place on November 4, 2014. Incumbent Jason Gant (R) was first elected in 2010 and opted not to seek re-election for another term in 2014.[1] The race to replace Gant featured Republican candidate Shantel Krebs, Democratic candidate Angelia Schultz, Constitution Party candidate Lori Stacey and Libertarian Party candidate Emmett Reistroffer. Krebs won election to a four-year term.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. South Dakota law allows parties to choose whether to let unaffiliated voters vote in their elections. For more information on recognized political parties in South Dakota and their primary policies, see here.[2][3]
