This bill clarifies how South Dakota removes ineligible voters from registration lists by requiring the county auditor to cross-check voter records against death records from the Department of Health and felony conviction records from the court system. The bill also allows the State Board of Elections to create rules for how these record-matching checks should be conducted. This strengthens the process for keeping voter rolls accurate by automatically removing deceased people and those serving felony sentences.
