SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The presidential election is officially now only two weeks away.

The Minnehaha County auditor’s office has been busy with an onslaught of absentee voters; 925 Monday alone.

It’s also getting ready by training election workers on how to handle some of the new rules that will affect you when you show up at the polls.

More than 60 Minnehaha County election workers are learning about election rules and how to handle election supplies and equipment.

“They have to know the procedures and the laws and everything they’re supposed to do during the day on election day,” Minnehaha County Auditor Leah Anderson said.

2. No.

The article clearly indicates that they're talking about voters.

“Our states attorney’s office has done some research on that and followed some other case laws and has determined that could likely violate a person’s first amendment rights, so we are teaching our workers that it’s okay

if a person comes in to vote

and has something on that’s not deemed as campaigning,” Anderson said.
