HB 156 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Voter identification limitations.

HB 156 modifies Wyoming's voter ID requirements by adding a new rule: if a voter's primary ID (like a driver's license) doesn't show their current Wyoming address, they must provide two additional documents verifying residence. Acceptable documents include utility bills, rent receipts, or tax documents. The bill repeals three previously accepted ID types and directly affects voters who cannot present address-verified ID at polling places. It takes effect July 1, 2023, with the Secretary of State to specify acceptable verification documents.
