This bill changes how South Dakota removes people from voter registration lists by requiring automatic removal of anyone currently incarcerated for a felony conviction, rather than allowing county auditors to decide whether to remove them. The bill also clarifies that the state must match voter registration records against felony conviction records maintained by the court system to identify and remove ineligible voters.
