Update: With a 5-4 vote, the Senate State Affairs Committee voted to send House Bill 1062 to the 41st Day, effectively killing the bill. 

Background: House Bill 1062 would make South Dakota voter registration files available free online and to post weekly voter file updates online and maintain a five-year archive of registration records.

Our position: The ACLU of South Dakota opposes House Bill 1062. This bill would violate the privacy of South Dakota voters, including the disclosure of political party affiliation and addresses.
