This bill changes the deadline and process for candidates to submit nominating petitions for South Dakota municipal elections. Instead of requiring petitions to be filed 70 days before the election, candidates can now mail petitions by registered mail with extended deadlines (March 31st for June elections and August 31st for November elections). The bill also updates the form requirements and signature verification rules that municipalities must follow when processing these petitions.
