Bill > HB0321

This bill modifies Wyoming's election judge selection process by prioritizing candidates from political party lists when filling election judge positions. Specifically, when the county clerk needs to appoint election judges, the lists submitted by county chairmen of major and minor political parties will now take precedence over municipal clerk lists. Similarly, when filling vacancies in election judge positions before or on election day, the bill requires that registered electors from party chairman lists be given priority over other potential appointees. If no alternates are available from party lists, the county clerk can still appoint any qualified elector. The changes apply to both filling pre-election vacancies and immediately addressing absences at polling places on election day. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing local election officials clear guidance on prioritizing political party recommendations when staffing election judge positions.
