Election integrity-primary elections.
Wyoming's SF 163 requires voters to declare or change their political party affiliation before the first day nominations for primary elections can be filed. This applies specifically to voters seeking a partisan primary ballot, moving the deadline earlier than current practice. Voters must submit a signed application to the county clerk before the nomination filing deadline, rather than changing affiliation later. The bill does not affect nonpartisan ballots or general election voting procedures. It becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
