SIOUX FALLS, S.D.(WNAX)- Backers of several ongoing petition drives have opened a “Democracy Center” in Sioux Falls.

Rick Weiland with “Dakotans for Health” says they wanted a center to explain their goals.

Weiland says they face a potential problem on the primary ballot next June.

Weiland says they are continuing their statewide push for petition signatures.

Besides petitions for Medicaid expansion, there are issues involving recreational cannabis, Sioux Falls medical cannabis and redistricting by commission.

The center is on South Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls.
