This bill strengthens South Dakota's voter registration system by requiring courts, coroners, and the Secretary of State to regularly share information about deceased individuals and those declared mentally incompetent so voter rolls can be updated promptly. Courts must now send monthly lists of people declared incompetent to county auditors, coroners must report deaths within five days, and the Secretary of State must check the statewide voter registration database monthly against death records to remove ineligible voters.
