South Dakota's Secretary of State must now maintain and regularly update an official list of candidates for statewide primary, general, and special elections, reflecting any candidates who are newly approved, withdraw, or are removed from the ballot. The list must include each candidate's name, address, county, legislative district (if applicable), and political party, and must be available for public inspection on the Secretary of State's website. This creates a new requirement to keep this candidate information current and publicly accessible throughout the election process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
