Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to elections; specifying acceptable identification for voter identification; repealing school identification cards, Medicaid and Medicare insurance cards as forms of acceptable identification; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Wyoming's voter identification requirements by updating the definition of "acceptable identification" for in-person voting. Specifically, the bill adds a new requirement that any form of identification used for voting must not be expired, must be in its original issued form, and must include a photograph of the voter. Additionally, the bill repeals three specific forms of identification that were previously acceptable: school identification cards, Medicaid insurance cards, and Medicare insurance cards. These changes effectively narrow the types of identification voters can use when casting ballots at polling places or absentee polling places. The bill is designed to tighten voter identification standards by removing certain forms of identification and adding stricter requirements for the remaining acceptable forms. The legislation will become effective immediately upon completing the standard legislative process as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
