South Dakota voters would be asked to approve a constitutional amendment that increases the number of signatures required to start a ballot initiative or referendum (a citizen-proposed law or veto of a law). Currently, the state constitution requires signatures from no more than five percent of qualified voters; this amendment would raise that threshold, making it harder for citizens to get measures on the ballot through petition signatures.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
