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 can deliver absentee ballots for up to five qualified electors per election, provided they file an affidavit with the county clerk attesting to their authorization. Any ballots delivered in violation of these rules will not be tabulated, and the county clerk is required to notify the elector if their ballot is not counted.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new felony offense for violating the ballot delivery restrictions, punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000. The effective date of the bill is immediate upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
