This 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 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 eligibility.

Additionally, the bill outlines the qualifications for voter registration, emphasizing the necessity of being a resident for thirty days prior to the next election and being at least eighteen years old by that date. It also reaffirms that individuals adjudicated as mentally incompetent or those with felony convictions who have not had their voting rights restored are not considered qualified electors. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
