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 employees of authorized residential care facilities may deliver ballots. Additionally, employees delivering ballots must file an affidavit with the county clerk attesting to their authorization to do so. If a violation of these delivery rules occurs before ballot tabulation, the ballots in question will not be counted, and the county clerk is required to notify the elector if their ballot has not been tabulated.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a new felony offense for violating the ballot delivery provisions, specifically referencing the newly created subsection (b) of W.S. 22-9-113. This offense carries a penalty of up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
