This bill amends the Wyoming Election Code to include a concealed carry permit as an acceptable form of identification for in-person voting. Specifically, it adds a new subdivision to the definition of "acceptable identification," stating that a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm, issued in accordance with Wyoming law, can be used by voters at polling places or absentee polling places.
The effective date for this change is set for July 1, 2023. This legislation aims to expand the options available to voters for identification purposes, aligning voter ID requirements with existing concealed carry regulations.
