Board of Supervisors
Supervisors are elected by nomination districts on the general election ballot. However, they do not participate in the primaries. Nomination districts reflect the natural resource diversity of Pennington County, not the distribution of population. Interested individuals living within nomination districts can file with the Pennington County Auditor May 17th - May 31st of the election year.
