Bill > SB214

This bill amends existing South Dakota law regarding the publication of the statewide voter registration file, which is a computerized system maintained by the Secretary of State containing information about registered voters. Specifically, it changes the frequency and method of updating this file on the Secretary of State's website, moving from a weekly update posted every Monday to a complete statewide voter registration file posted before 11:59 p.m. central time each Monday. The bill also modifies the requirements for a rolling five-year historical archive of this file, ensuring it is also published on the Secretary of State's website by the same deadline. Furthermore, it clarifies that while information from the voter registration file cannot be sold or used for commercial purposes (with exceptions for campaign polling), it can be placed on the internet for unrestricted access, except for sensitive personal information like social security numbers and driver's license numbers, which remain protected.
