The bill amends Wyoming's election laws to explicitly include the act of submitting a false post-election ballot audit as a form of falsifying election documents. This addition is made by creating a new paragraph (v) under W.S. 22-26-107(a), which outlines various acts that constitute falsifying election documents with the intent to deceive or mislead an elector or election official. The specific insertion clarifies that submitting a false audit to the secretary of state is now recognized as a criminal act within the context of election integrity.

The bill also establishes an effective date for this new provision, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments and awareness to be raised regarding the new legal standards for election documentation in Wyoming.
