SF 131 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Prohibition on delivery of unsolicited ballot forms.

SF 131 prohibits anyone from sending absentee ballot request forms to Wyoming voters by mail, email, or other methods without the voter's specific request. This law directly affects political groups, organizations, or individuals who might distribute these forms unsolicited. The key provision requires that such forms can only be sent if a voter has asked for them, with violations punishable as misdemeanors (up to 6 months in jail or $1,000 fine). The bill amends Wyoming election statutes to create this restriction and penalty, effective immediately upon enactment.
