The bill amends existing election laws in Wyoming to establish new requirements for electors wishing to change their political party affiliation. Specifically, it mandates that electors affiliated with a major political party must change their affiliation to another major political party at least fourteen days prior to a primary election. The bill also includes provisions for notating changes in party affiliation on the poll list for general elections and clarifies that a declaration of party affiliation is necessary when requesting a major party ballot.

Additionally, the bill revises the process for changing party affiliation, allowing electors to do so by completing an application signed before a notarial officer or election official. This application must be filed with the county clerk at least fourteen days before the primary election or at the polls on the day of the primary election. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2023.
