If you missed SD Cannabis Legalization Campaign “Petition Sign & Drive” events you can still sign

SIOUX FALLS – South Dakotans for Better Marijuana Laws (“SDBML”), the political group backing a proposed 2024 cannabis legalization ballot measure, held “Petition Sign & Drive” events across the state Saturday, March 23, in support of its ongoing signature drive.

The campaign will offered drive-thru petition signing at six locations across South Dakota. There were two locations in Sioux Falls, two locations in Rapid City, and one location each in Brookings and North Sioux City.

 “Voters can sign the petition from the comfort of their own vehicles and the process usually takes less than a minute,” said Matthew Schweich said, campaign director for SDBML said voters were able to sign from the comfort of their own vehicles and SDBML staff and volunteer quickly checked a voter’s registration status and registered new voters.

 The campaign must collect 17,508 valid signatures from registered South Dakota voters in order to qualify its initiative for the November 5, 2024 ballot. The deadline for submitting petitions to the South Dakota Secretary of State is May 7. 

 “With just 49 days until the deadline, it’s time to shift into high gear,” Schweich added. “Our drive-thru events in 2022 were very popular.”

 SDBML was established in 2019 and spearheaded the cannabis reform ballot initiative campaigns in 2020 (enacting South Dakota’s medical cannabis law) and 2022. In 2021, it played an important role in defeating legislation backed by Governor Kristi Noem that would have delayed implementation of the medical cannabis policy approved by 70% of South Dakota voters.

 The “Petition Sign & Drive” events are a partnership between SDBML and Grow South Dakota, a statewide ballot question committee established last year that is also backing the 2024 cannabis legalization campaign.
