Depending on how they get their mail, they may be counted at a regular address if they were using their own, a friend or relative's address. If their legal residing address was flagged as a mail drop. they didn't get any notification. Even when people were able to login to compete the form, if the address was flagged as a mail drop only, it didn't count for that state as a resident.

Easy solution (answers):
Call Americas Mailbox in Box Elder. They built their own campground from "scratch" - Spent big $ on same.
They should be very tuned in to the "situation" & your concerns!
Nice, well informed & helpful folks.

An act to send a bill to the day after the last day of the Legislative Session for discussion, ultimately defeating the bill.

Lots of hyperbole but ethically, should you be voting in a location where you don't reside (reside in reality not by legal technicality).
Certainly not for local elections and even national elections are questionable since it dilutes the votes of actual residents for federal representation. This is particularly an issue in lower population states where a few thousand out of state voters can sway statewide elections.
I don't have to follow your imagined ethics on my voting preference the state cannot take my vote away. I'm surprised not a single response has consulted the constitution. I know it's an old document and many would like to tear it up and I am totally surprised so many have views on this site want to shred it. Who knew?

FYI Average voter turnout the last four presidential elections 56.925 percent. Why aren't you voting or maybe you thought you could skip it cause your guy was a shoe in or you didn't bother cause you knew your guy wouldn't win.
I got the right to vote when I turned 21 the same year the gave 18 year old's the vote. The same year my 18yr old brother got the vote. I felt a little cheated I had been paying income tax for three years and been denied that right. Yes I know the change in age was in response to 18 year old drafted and sent to Viet Nam. Unlike many folks, I have made my support of our democratic republic my duty and haven't missed an election in 52 years.

You can choose to be unethical but it's a real concern for small jurisdictions.
Of course it's messy now that this messed up residency has gone on for a long time but it's been expanding lately and the flaws in allowing it are bubbling to the surface.
More hyperbole suggesting the constitution be torn up...reality is a change of residency without actually changing residency should never have been allowed in the first place. The legal method is if you move overseas or start to travel full time, your residency remains unchanged. This avoids odd concentrations of non residents voting and covers your false fears of the constitution failing.
The proposed law is flawed as it allows residency to be changed without residing in the state but then wants to deny voting rights. Doesn't mean the current system isn't flawed and it could be argued violates the constitution as it allows non residents to vote in elections they have no right to vote in.

Pre-dating even the Constitution is the idea nobody should be forced to pay taxes if have no chance of representation about the taxes.
AFAIK, the advertised reason for declare you live in SD is to avoid taxes.
Of course, "Representation Without Taxation" is a reasonable idea /sarcasm
