South Dakota Regulations § 5:02:16:08 Duplicate ballots
Regulation Text
For the purpose of determining the proper number of ballots in the box, any ballots folded together determined to be duplicate ballots of one voter shall be counted as a single ballot. There are two types of duplicate ballots as follows:
(1)
If a voter was given two or more identical ballots stuck together and voted only one of them, the voted ballot shall be counted. The election or counting board will find the duplicate ballots folded together in the ballot box with the ballot stamp on the back copy and the votes marked on the top copy; and
(2)
If a voter was given two or more identical ballots stuck together and voted more than one of them, none of the voted ballots may be counted.
