Bill > SF0078

This bill modifies Wyoming state election law by prohibiting any person, except county clerks, the secretary of state, or their designated representatives, from distributing unsolicited absentee ballot request forms to qualified electors. The bill broadly defines an "absentee ballot request form" to include any document that claims to be or is similar to an official election document, regardless of whether it is sent by mail, email, or other means. The key purpose of this legislation appears to be preventing third parties from sending unrequested absentee ballot applications to voters, which could potentially create confusion or be seen as an attempt to improperly influence voting processes. The bill would make such distribution illegal unless the specific qualified elector has first requested the form. The law would take effect immediately upon completing the standard legislative approval process as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution, providing an immediate restriction on distributing unsolicited absentee ballot request forms.
