New South Dakota Law Keeping Full Time RVers From Voting? Taking Our Voting Rights Away?
We’ve been following the actions of South Dakota’s legislature as they apply to full time RVers. We domicile in South Dakota and has been a popular domicile for many RVers. However, new South Dakota voting law threats full-time RVers’ ability to vote there. In this video we share what we have learned so far on how this will effect Full-Timers’s voting rights.
The new law goes into effect July 1, 2023. When that happens, it will change existing voter law in the state. Here’s how the current law reads:
“For the purposes of this title, the term, residence, means the place in which a person has fixed his or her habitation and to which the person, whenever absent, intends to return.”
The new law reads this way: (goes into effect July 1, 2023)
“For the purposes of this title, the term, residence, means the place in which a person is domiciled as shown by an actual fixed permanent dwelling, establishment, or any other abode to which the person returns after a period of absence.”
The issues is —unless a person has an “actual fixed permanent dwelling” they may not register to vote in South Dakota. Private mailbox company and campground addresses don’t meet the definition and have to provide fixed permanent dwelling for 30 days.
