In South Dakota – a sprawling state with a small, mostly rural population – there are few central resources for civic engagement and awareness. Especially isolated are residents of the state's nine reservation/tribal areas. In response, SDPB partnered with the state Legislative Research Council, Bar Association, Newspaper Association and AARP to develop Tune Into Democracy. SDPB provided gavel-to-gavel coverage of legislative sessions, candidate debates for state and local offices, and election information on radio, TV and in a comprehensive one-stop web site. The need for this information was clearly high, with traffic on the legislative and election Web pages quadrupling during the project.
