AI Summary
This bill establishes a new system for electing representatives to the Wyoming House of Representatives, moving away from individual candidate elections to a "list" system where voters choose a party's slate of candidates. It outlines procedures for how political parties will nominate these lists, allowing major parties to choose between primary elections or other methods like conventions, while minor parties will use conventions. The bill also details how votes will be counted and representatives apportioned within each district, using methods like the "greatest divisors method" or "Jefferson method" to ensure fair distribution of seats based on vote totals. Importantly, it redefines the legislative districts and specifies the number of representatives to be elected from each, with these changes taking effect for the 2026 elections.
