South Dakota would ban the use of automatic tabulating equipment and electronic ballot marking systems in all elections, effective immediately for both the state and local governments. The bill removes references to these electronic systems from election law and requires ballots to be counted manually instead. This represents a shift away from the computerized voting systems currently permitted under state law.
