The bill mandates that all counties in Wyoming use paper ballots and pens as the default method for marking ballots during in-person voting in elections. It allows for an exception where county clerks can provide electronic ballot marking devices specifically for individuals with disabilities, ensuring these devices comply with federal accessibility standards. The bill emphasizes that electronic devices cannot be the default method for marking ballots.

Additionally, the bill amends several sections of existing law to align with the new requirement. It inserts language that specifies the limitations imposed by the new paper ballot requirement in various contexts, such as the selection of voting machines by county commissioners and the use of electronic voting systems. The bill also corrects the term "insure" to "ensure" in the context of ensuring that qualified electors vote only for candidates they are entitled to vote for. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
