South Dakota elected two U.S. representatives, at-large (AL), from 1889 to 1910. Beginning in 1912, the state elected three representatives from three districts. Beginning in 1932, the state once again had two representatives, but elected them from two districts. Since 1982, South Dakota has had one representative, elected at-large.
