HB 1124 changes how South Dakota counties must notify the public about voting machine testing before elections. Instead of just publishing a notice in the newspaper 48 hours before the test, counties must now post notice using the same process required for public meeting agendas and directly notify political party chairs and ballot question committees. The bill also clarifies that if an error is found during testing, the county auditor must conduct a new test after the error is corrected.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
