Party affiliation changes.
HB 106 allows Wyoming voters to change their political party affiliation on election day at polling places, rather than requiring advance filings. It amends election code sections to permit voters to update their affiliation when requesting a partisan ballot, with changes recorded directly on poll lists by election judges. This applies to both primary and general elections, eliminating the previous 14- or 30-day advance filing deadlines for affiliation changes. The law took effect July 1, 2019.
