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 in violation of this provision, the county clerk may 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 act is set for July 1, 2025. The amendments include the insertion of language that clarifies the prohibition of drop boxes and the procedures for handling improperly delivered ballots, while deleting references to the previous methods of ballot delivery.
