The bill mandates that individuals must provide proof of United States citizenship in order to register to vote in Wyoming. It introduces a new definition of "proof of United States citizenship," which includes various forms of identification such as a valid Wyoming driver's license, tribal identification cards, passports, certificates of citizenship or naturalization, military draft records, and birth certificates. The bill amends existing laws to incorporate this requirement into the voter registration process, ensuring that proof of citizenship is a necessary component for eligibility.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the county clerk must furnish voter registration oath forms that require applicants to provide proof of United States citizenship. It also outlines that this proof must be submitted alongside other voter information when registering to vote. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025, allowing time for implementation and public awareness of the new requirements.
