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

Furthermore, the bill establishes a new felony offense for knowingly and willfully violating the ballot delivery restrictions outlined in the amended law, punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
