Bill Summary
AN ACT ENTITLED An Act to amend provisions pertaining to the timing of municipal elections.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing South Dakota law to allow municipalities to choose to hold their regular municipal elections only in even-numbered years, rather than annually. This change would require municipalities to pass an ordinance to adopt this new election schedule and would involve adjusting the terms of current officeholders to align with the new schedule, ensuring that elections are held as consistently as possible. The bill also makes various conforming changes to other sections of law related to municipal elections, special elections, vacancies, and the terms of elected officials to accommodate this potential shift in election timing.
