South Dakota officials would be prohibited from publicly disclosing the total number of votes cast for each presidential candidate in the general election until after all states have completed their electoral voting (typically in December). However, the Secretary of State could still release the winner of the election and the percentage breakdown of votes for each candidate rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. This delays full vote disclosure for presidential races while allowing partial results and the election outcome to be announced immediately.
