Bill > HB0160

This bill aims to modify voter identification requirements in Wyoming by removing school identification cards as an acceptable form of identification for in-person voting. Currently, Wyoming law allows various forms of identification to be used at polling places, and this bill specifically targets and eliminates school-issued ID cards from that list of acceptable voter identification documents. By repealing the specific statutory provision that previously permitted school identification cards as a valid form of voter ID, the bill narrows the range of acceptable identification that voters can use when casting ballots in person. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which provides advance notice to election officials, schools, and voters about the upcoming change in identification requirements. This change could potentially impact students and young voters who might have relied on school-issued identification as their primary means of proving identity at polling places.
