In South Dakota, you will now need to live in the state for 30 consecutive days to be eligible to vote in the state's elections, thanks to a bill the governor signed into law on Tuesday.
Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden signed bill HB 1066 along with several other bills aimed at promoting “free and fair elections.” The bill requires that an individual must have stayed in one permanent dwelling in the state, where one typically lives and sleeps, for 30 consecutive days to be eligible to vote. The requirement used to be just one night until a bill signed in 2023 changed the requirement to 30 nonconsecutive days.
