HB1119 updates South Dakota's election law to use consistent language about runoff elections in municipal races, changing references from "secondary elections" to "secondary runoff election" to clarify the specific type of election being discussed. The bill specifies that when a municipal election goes to a runoff round, absentee ballots must be available at least seven days before the runoff election day, rather than the standard fifteen days for regular municipal elections.
