Mitchell Township, Davison County, South Dakota
As a result of the 2001 abolition election, that part of Davison County that previously comprised Mitchell Township became unorganized territory and was governed by the Davison County Board of Commissioners.
Due to various continuing issues relating to road maintenance, accountability for tax assessments and expenditure of tax revenues, fire protection, and a general desire for local control, a special election was held in 2009 on the question of reestablishing Mitchell Township. The result of the election was positive and Mitchell Township was subsequently reorganized as a political subdivision of the State of South Dakota. Mitchell Township regained independent taxing authority and, following reorganization, is governed by an elected board of township supervisors.
