AI Summary
This bill mandates a random hand count audit of election ballots in Wyoming, requiring the Secretary of State to select one precinct in each county for this audit after every primary and general election. The county clerk will then conduct a manual count of all ballots from that selected precinct and compare the results to those recorded by the electronic voting system, reporting the findings to the Secretary of State within one week of the election. The Secretary of State is responsible for creating rules to implement this audit process, including its scope and procedures, and must finalize these rules by July 1, 2026, with the act taking effect immediately upon becoming law.
