PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota’s secretary of state is reminding voters not to post ballot selfies as the June primary election approaches.

Secretary of State Shantel Krebs says posting on social media a photo of a marked ballot showing how someone voted is illegal.

State law says people can’t publicize official ballots after they’re marked in a way that reveals the contents of the ballot or the candidates who received their vote.
