Change in party affiliation.
This bill (HB 207) requires Wyoming voters switching between major political parties to submit their change at least 14 days before a primary election. It affects voters who want to change their party affiliation from one major party (like Republican or Democrat) to another, modifying existing rules about when and how this change can be processed. The key mechanism is mandating a 14-day filing deadline with the county clerk for such switches, though changes can still be made at the polls on election day or when requesting absentee ballots. The bill amends Wyoming election code sections 22-5-212 and 22-5-214, effective July 1, 2023.
