This bill mandates that the Secretary of State of South Dakota publish the number of required signatures for each nominating petition on their website. Specifically, this information must be made available no later than January 2nd in the year of an election, ensuring transparency and accessibility for those interested in the nominating process.

The new legal language added to chapter 12-6 specifies that the publication will pertain to the signature requirements outlined in sections 12-6-7 and 12-7-1. This change aims to enhance public awareness and facilitate the nominating process for candidates and voters alike.
