DeadDeferred to the 41st day···

Proposing and submitting to the voters at the next general election an amendment to the Constitution of the State of South Dakota, requiring an intervening general election occur before an initiated constitutional amendment that is substantially similar to an initiated amendment that was previously voted on and rejected may be submitted to a vote of the electors.

House Joint Resolution

Election SecurityVoter Registration

This proposed constitutional amendment would require that at least one general election occur between rejections of similar voter-initiated constitutional amendments. Currently, groups can resubmit essentially the same constitutional amendment proposal to voters in the next election cycle even if voters just rejected it; this change would force them to wait longer. South Dakota voters would decide whether to approve this amendment at the next general election.
