SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24, 2004, the U.S. Election

HAVA state plans filed by the fifty states, the District of Columbia 
and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. 69 FR 14002. HAVA anticipated that states, territories 
and the District of Columbia would change or update their plans from 
time to time pursuant to HAVA Section 254(a)(11) through (13). HAVA 
Sections 254(a)(11)(A) and 255 require EAC to publish such updates. 
This is the fifth revision to the state plan for South Dakota.
    The amendments to South Dakota's state plan provide for compliance 
with the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act); 
include additional information regarding the state's utilization of 
HAVA funds for additional personnel working on HAVA related projects 
and for requirements of HAVA Section 301(a)(4); and reflect how the 
state intends to use its FY 2010 Requirements Payments. In accordance 
with HAVA Section 254(a)(12), all the state plans submitted for 
publication provide information on how the respective state succeeded 
in carrying out its previous state plan. South Dakota confirms that its 
amendments to the state plan were developed and submitted to public 
comment in accordance with HAVA Sections 254(a)(11), 255, and 256.
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from July 12, 2010, the state is 
eligible to implement the changes addressed in the plan that is 
published herein, in accordance with HAVA Section 254(a)(11)(C). EAC

plan and encourages further public comment, in writing, to the state
