This bill updates South Dakota's rules for municipal and school district elections, clarifying key definitions and voter eligibility requirements. Specifically, it defines "in conjunction with" and "combined with" for election timing and responsibilities, and changes voter residency rules to specify that municipal voters must live in the municipality, attend school there, or be military personnel stationed there. The bill also makes technical updates to election administration procedures across multiple sections of state law.
