This bill changes the deadline for candidates to submit nominating petitions to appear on South Dakota primary election ballots, moving it from the last Tuesday of March to the last third Tuesday of March at 5 p.m. local time. The bill also clarifies that petitions mailed by registered mail by the last Tuesday of March at 5 p.m. will still be considered on time, and reorganizes which office locations receive petitions for different types of candidates (county auditors for county races, and a state office for legislative and judicial races).
