The bill amends existing election laws in Wyoming to establish specific timelines for electors to declare or change their political party affiliation. It stipulates that an elector must declare or change their party affiliation prior to the first day on which primary election nomination applications may be filed. Additionally, it clarifies that a registered elector's request to cancel their registration can be made at any time, except during the period when party changes are prohibited.

Key changes include the requirement for electors to complete and file an application to declare or change their party affiliation with the county clerk, signed before a notarial officer or election official, before the primary election. For general elections, electors can change their party affiliation after the primary election but must do so at least fourteen days before the general election or on the day of the election when requesting an absentee ballot. The bill aims to streamline the process of party affiliation declaration and ensure compliance with the established timelines.
