amend provisions relating to an individual's status as a voter for municipal or school district elections.
HB 1110 amends South Dakota voter residency rules for municipal and school district elections. It requires voters to reside in the municipality or school district for at least 30 consecutive days each year, with exceptions for full-time students who previously resided there and active-duty military members with a home of record in the area. The bill specifies that residency qualifications can only be challenged through a defined legal process (§ 12-18-10), and elections cannot be contested if non-residents voted without proper challenge. This bill directly affects local voters in South Dakota communities and takes effect December 1, 2026.
