This bill changes South Dakota's voter registration rules by updating the definition of "resident" to require both physical presence in the state and an intent to stay for at least 30 days before an election, while clarifying that students and active-duty military members retain their residency status. The bill modifies several election-related statutes to align with this new definition and adds provisions to strengthen voter registration procedures.
