The bill amends Wyoming's election laws to prohibit the use of drop boxes for the delivery of absentee ballots. Specifically, it states that no county clerk, election staff, public employee, or election official may establish or use a drop box for collecting absentee ballots. Additionally, it specifies that no person is allowed to deliver an absentee ballot through any drop box. If a ballot is improperly delivered, the county clerk is authorized to notify the elector that their ballot is spoiled. The bill defines a "drop box" as any receptacle designed for receiving absentee ballots or other documents that would allow for delivery outside of mail or hand delivery.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The changes aim to ensure that absentee ballots are returned only through specified methods, thereby enhancing the integrity of the election process in Wyoming.
