Bill > HB0047

This bill codifies the secretary of state's rules for the certification of electronic voting systems in Wyoming. It defines "vendor" as a person engaged in selling, leasing, marketing, designing, building, or maintaining electronic voting systems for tabulating election results. The bill requires vendors to file an application with the secretary of state for certification of an electronic voting system, which must include proof of federal certification, compliance with voting system guidelines, and other documentation. The secretary of state may deny or withdraw certification for various reasons, such as the system failing to meet requirements or changes being made without compliance. The bill also requires counties to keep an inventory of all electronic voting systems used. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2023.
