The bill amends various sections of Wyoming's election laws to clarify the definition of "qualified elector." Key changes include specifying that a qualified elector must be at least eighteen years of age and a bona fide resident of Wyoming for at least thirty days before the next election. The language has been updated to replace references to the "general election" and the phrase "at which he may offer to vote" with "next election," streamlining the requirements for voter registration and qualifications.

Additionally, the bill maintains that no person can be considered a qualified elector if they are currently adjudicated as mentally incompetent or if they have been convicted of a felony without having their civil or voting rights restored. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, ensuring that these clarifications and changes are implemented in time for future elections.
