The voter registration fields being compared to the South Dakota driver license system fields are:

. SSN or driver license number to DRVR-LIC-NO-SSN

. last name to LAST-NAME DL

. first name to FIRST-NAME DL

. date-of-birth to DATE-OF-BIRTH DL

Four steps will be performed to check a South Dakota driver license number:

(1) A number check will be executed to see if the voter registrant's driver license number matches. If a match is not found no further checks are conducted on that record.

(2) If the number check matches, a check will be performed against the last name on the driver license.

(3) If the number check matches, a check will be performed against the first name on the driver license.

(4) If the number check matches, a check will be performed against the date-of-birth on the driver license.
