South Dakota is creating a pilot program to test advanced voting technology in up to three election jurisdictions that uses cryptographic security to verify votes are counted correctly for absentee and overseas voters. Counties or cities interested in participating must get approval from their local governing body and notify the state, with the secretary of state choosing which jurisdictions participate based on the order of notification. The secretary of state and attorney general will then review which state election laws may need to be changed to allow these jurisdictions to use the new voting system.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
