PIERRE, (KCCR) — Only approximately 10-percent of registered voters took part in Tuesday’s Pierre City Commission election.

Oliva also experimented with using electronic poll books for absentee balloting at city hall…
Oliva noted while the voter turnout seemed average for a municipal election, it was better than the 2022 primary election.
