HB1104 updates South Dakota's ballot printing standards by specifying exact paper quality requirements—including weight, opacity, brightness, and thickness—that official ballots must meet. The bill also clarifies that sample ballots must be printed on yellow paper with timing marks removed and the word "sample" displayed at the top, and it modernizes the language used throughout the ballot requirements section without changing the core rules about how candidate names are arranged on ballots.
