Group wants help for voters affected by proof-of-citizenship law and federal-only designation

The League of Women Voters in South Dakota is calling for new rules to help voters impacted by a controversial law requiring proof of citizenship for registration, which they describe as poorly constructed. The organization has petitioned the state Board of Election to establish eight new rules to address the confusion and difficulties this law has caused. This move comes as a response to Senate Bill that many believe was rushed through without adequate consideration, highlighting a broader issue about voter access and the need for clearer guidelines. The push for these changes underscores the importance of ensuring fair and accessible voting processes.
