HB 115 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Elections administration.

HB 115 reorganizes Wyoming's election administration by designating the state canvassing board (led by the secretary of state) as the central authority responsible for overseeing elections statewide. It directly affects county clerks, who will now operate under the board's supervision, and voters, whose felony conviction status will be verified through the board's electronic voter registration system instead of county-level processes. Key provisions include defining the "state canvassing board" in statute, requiring the board to maintain election law uniformity, and streamlining voter registration checks for felony convictions without requiring fingerprints or fees. The bill amends over 40 election code sections to centralize these responsibilities but was not advanced beyond introduction in 2023.
