South Dakota law will now allow election officials to release cast vote records (electronic records of how each vote was counted) and ballot images (digital copies of paper ballots) from voting machines to the public. The bill adds clear definitions of these terms to state election law and makes it easier for citizens and observers to access these records for election verification and transparency purposes.
