SB 123 makes three changes to how absentee ballot applications are distributed in South Dakota. First, it prohibits anyone from handing out pre-filled absentee ballot applications with a voter's name and address already on them (except for authorized ballot requesters and those assisting voters with disabilities). Second, it requires that only the official state ballot application can be distributed, and anyone else distributing applications must clearly identify themselves in writing and disclose that the application is not from the government and is not an actual ballot.
