The South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office is removing 273 noncitizens from the state’s voter list.
Secretary of State Monae (mo-nay) Johnson said the names were discovered as part of a review to ensure the integrity of South Dakota’s elections and to safeguard against improper voter registration. She says the Department of Public Safety discovered the need for the correction and worked with the state Bureau of Information and Telecommunications to implement a fix to make sure that only eligible citizens are participating.
Johnson says ensuring the integrity of South Dakota elections is the SOS Office’s highest priority. She says they worked closely with DPS to resolve this issue.
There are 682,031 total registered voters in South Dakota. Of those, the SOS’s Office considers 617,396 active voters.
