This bill clarifies how South Dakota parties fill candidate vacancies that occur after primary elections due to death or withdrawal. For statewide offices and presidential electors, the State Party Central Committee fills the vacancy, while for all other offices, only county party central committee members who live in the affected district vote to fill the vacancy. The bill also specifies that the party State Central Committee chairman must issue the meeting notice by mail and designate when and where the meeting will be held.
