This bill requires county election officials to post notices about three election activities—the testing of voting machines, the official canvass of election results, and post-election audits—to the South Dakota Secretary of State's website so the public can easily find this information. Previously, counties only had to notify political parties and post notices locally; this change adds a statewide transparency requirement by centralizing these notices on a state website.
