# HB 1091 Summary This bill allows gubernatorial candidates to choose their own running mate for lieutenant governor, rather than having the lieutenant governor selected through a separate election process. Currently, South Dakota voters elect the governor and lieutenant governor as separate positions; this change would let the governor's campaign decide who runs alongside them on the ticket.
