The bill amends various sections of Wyoming's election laws to clarify the definition of "qualified elector." Key changes include specifying that a qualified elector must be at least eighteen years of age on the day of the "next" election and must have been a bona fide resident of Wyoming for at least thirty days prior to that election. The language that previously stated "at which he may offer to vote" has been deleted, streamlining the requirements for voter registration and qualifications.
Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes across multiple sections of the Election Code to ensure consistency in the definition of a qualified elector. It emphasizes that no literacy tests will be imposed as a condition for voting and outlines the necessary qualifications for voter registration. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026.
