Are there any new laws in South Dakota that affect my ability to become a resident, or to vote?
There are no laws on the books that affect anyone’s ability to obtain South Dakota residency or restrict the ability to vote. Some people are pointing to Senate Bill (SB) 139. The only thing that SB 139 does is to slightly change the process for residents to register to vote in South Dakota. What SB 139 does is it sets a thirty (30) day period from the time someone obtains a South Dakota driver's license (and becomes a resident of South Dakota) to when they are able to register to vote. Thirty days after someone obtains their driver’s license, they can then mail in their voter registration form to the Minnehaha County Auditor’s Office. That was the only legislative change made regarding voting in the last legislative session.

I was addressing these bills:
Proposed bills House Bill 1232 and Senate Bill 124

Where did you get SB 139?
