South Dakota Bill on Party Decision on Independent Voters Advances

On February 13, the South Dakota Senate Local Government Committee passed HB 1019 unanimously. It had already passed the House. It codifies the ability of political parties to say whether or not they wish to let independent voters vote in their primaries. The party must decide by January 1 of any election year. It is not clear how this will work in the case of parties that qualify after January 1.

  1. Rich,
    The SD Legislature has been very busy with the rights of not just independent voters….see SB157 and HB1188. I continue to work with some of the progressive legislators, but it is an uphill battle. I would appreciate any ideas you might have.
