The bill amends various sections of Wyoming's election laws to clarify the definition of "qualified elector" and make conforming changes related to voter registration and qualifications. Key changes include specifying that a "qualified elector" must be at least eighteen years of age on the day of the "next" election, rather than the previous phrasing which referred to the election at which they may offer to vote. Additionally, it stipulates that a qualified elector must have been a bona fide resident of Wyoming for at least thirty days before the "next" election, replacing the earlier language that referred to the election at which they offer to vote.

The bill also outlines the qualifications for voter registration, emphasizing that individuals must register at least fourteen days before an election and meet the same age and residency requirements. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the language surrounding voter qualifications and ensure clarity in the electoral process.
