South Dakota voter registration now requires individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote. This bill replaces the previous voter qualification standards with a new citizenship verification requirement and applies this same proof-of-citizenship rule to people registering to vote by absentee ballot. The bill also updates emergency declaration procedures to require citizenship proof.
