The bill amends the definition of "acceptable identification" in the Wyoming Election Code to require that any form of identification presented for in-person voting must include a photograph of the individual. Specifically, it adds the stipulation that acceptable identification must include a photograph of the person, enhancing the security and verification process at polling places.
Additionally, the bill repeals Medicaid and Medicare insurance cards as acceptable forms of identification for voting purposes. This change aims to streamline the identification process and ensure that only forms of ID that include a photograph are accepted. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
