The bill amends existing election laws in Wyoming to prohibit individuals from delivering ballots on behalf of other electors to the county clerk, with specific exceptions. Under the new provisions, only the qualified elector, their immediate family, or authorized employees of residential care facilities may deliver ballots. Additionally, employees delivering ballots must file an affidavit with the county clerk attesting to their authorization to do so. If a violation occurs, any ballots delivered improperly will not be tabulated, and the county clerk is required to notify the elector of this issue.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a penalty for violating the new delivery restrictions, classifying such violations as felony offenses punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
