HB1066 updates South Dakota's voter registration rules by clarifying what counts as legal residence for voting purposes and adds an exception allowing certain people to maintain their South Dakota residency even while temporarily absent from the state. Specifically, the bill protects the voting residency of people who are absent due to state or federal business, or who are on active duty in the military, allowing them to keep their South Dakota voter registration without losing their residency status.
