The bill amends the definition of "acceptable identification" for in-person voter identification in Wyoming to require that any form of identification presented must include a photograph of the individual. Specifically, it adds the stipulation that acceptable identification must include a photograph of the person, thereby tightening the requirements for voter ID at polling places.
Additionally, the bill repeals certain forms of identification that were previously considered acceptable, including school identification cards, as well as Medicare and Medicaid insurance cards. These changes aim to streamline the identification process for voters and enhance the integrity of the voting system. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
