Voting systems and ballots.
SF 99 (Wyoming) allows counties to count election ballots at a central location instead of individual polling places, and gives county clerks discretion to use alternative accessible voting methods beyond electronic machines. It requires the Secretary of State to create rules ensuring compliance with federal disability laws (ADA, Help America Vote Act) and specifies procedures for sealing ballots and records. The bill directly affects county election officials and voters, particularly those needing accessible voting options. It became effective July 1, 2019, with rulemaking required by that date.
