The 2026 South Dakota gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of South Dakota. Incumbent Republican Governor Kristi Noem is expected to resign if confirmed by the US Senate for the position of Secretary of Homeland Security.[1] Even before the pending nomination, Noem was term-limited and thus ineligible to seek a third consecutive term.
