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 casting the ballot, their immediate family, or authorized employees of residential care facilities may deliver ballots. Additionally, employees of these facilities must file an affidavit with the county clerk attesting to their authorization to deliver the ballot. If a violation of these delivery rules occurs before ballot tabulation, the improperly delivered ballots will not be counted, and the county clerk is required to notify the elector.

Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for violations of the new delivery rules, 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.
