South Dakota voters, county officials, and the Secretary of State can challenge whether someone is eligible to vote, but only on three specific grounds: whether they've voted or registered elsewhere, whether they're a South Dakota resident, or whether they're a U.S. citizen. This bill clarifies and limits the reasons someone can be challenged, removing any grounds for challenge beyond these three categories.
