HB1030 changes when South Dakota cities and towns hold their elections by adjusting the timing rules spread across multiple election law sections. The bill modifies deadlines and procedures for regular municipal elections, special elections, and related voting processes, though the specific new election dates or timing framework aren't fully clear from the excerpt provided. This is a comprehensive overhaul of municipal election scheduling that affects how cities organize and conduct their electoral processes.
The amendment replaced references to "section 18" with "section 19" and added new definitions of "regular election" and related municipal election timing provisions to Chapter 9-1.
The bill changed "annual municipal election" to "regular election" throughout and clarified timing requirements by referencing section 19 and chapter 9-13 instead of specific deadline provisions.
