Election equipment-federal certification.
Wyoming's HB 47 requires all electronic voting systems used in state and county elections to be certified by the Secretary of State. Vendors must submit applications proving federal election assistance commission certification, compliance with voluntary voting guidelines, and escrow of source code, along with a valid Wyoming business certificate. Counties must maintain detailed inventories of all voting systems, including serial numbers, software versions, and firmware details. The law, effective July 1, 2023, directly affects voting system vendors and county election officials by standardizing certification and inventory requirements.
