The bill amends several sections of Wyoming election law to clarify the composition and responsibilities of the county canvassing board. Specifically, it removes the previous requirement for a canvassing board appointed by the county clerk and instead establishes that the county canvassing board will consist of the county clerk and two electors who are residents of the county, with one elector selected from each of the two largest major political parties. The bill also stipulates that if there are not two major political parties in the county, the county clerk may appoint individuals to fill any unfilled positions on the canvassing board, ensuring that the two electors represent different political parties.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the county canvassing board will provide certified election results for precinct committeemen and committeewomen within 45 days after the primary election. It also outlines the procedures for canvassing special district elections, indicating that these elections will be canvassed by the county canvassing board or a special district canvassing board, depending on who conducts the election. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
