This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would change how South Dakota fills vacant legislative seats. Voters will decide on the proposed amendment at the next general election. The specific details of how the vacancy-filling process would change are not clearly shown in this excerpt, but the amendment modifies the current constitutional procedure in Section 36-4-4.
