The South Dakota Attorney General election took place on November 4, 2014. Incumbent Marty J. Jackley (R) was first appointed in 2009 and ran for re-election. He faced Libertarian Party candidate Chad Haber in the general election. Jackley won election to a four-year term in office.
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In South Dakota, the Democratic Party conducts a semi-closed primary, in which both registered party members and unaffiliated voters may participate. The Republican Party limits participation in its primary to registered party members.[1][2][3][4]
