Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to elections; requiring absentee ballots to contain an official envelope inside the inner ballot envelope; requiring absentee voters to provide identification information as specified; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Wyoming's absentee ballot procedures by requiring voters to provide specific identification information when submitting an absentee ballot. Specifically, the bill mandates that an official envelope be placed inside the inner ballot envelope, on which voters must provide either their Wyoming driver's license number or an alternative form of identification. If a voter does not have a Wyoming driver's license, they can instead provide their Wyoming identification card number or the last four digits of their social security number. The secretary of state will be responsible for prescribing the form of these new official envelopes and distributing them to election clerks. The changes aim to enhance voter identification verification for absentee ballots, and the new requirements will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving election officials and voters time to adapt to the new process.
