The bill amends Wyoming's election laws to establish a minimum threshold for ballots cast in bond elections that occur on days other than general election days. Specifically, it introduces a requirement that for a bond proposal to be approved, not only must the majority of ballots cast be in favor, but the total number of ballots must also be at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the number of qualified electors who voted in the most recent general election within the political subdivision. If this threshold is not met, the bond proposal cannot be resubmitted for at least twelve months.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the new requirements will not affect any bond elections held prior to its effective date of July 1, 2024. The amendments include the insertion of new subsections that outline these conditions, while maintaining existing provisions regarding the certification of results and the consequences of bond proposal defeats.
