Voter identification-concealed carry permit.
Wyoming's SF 86 amends election law to allow concealed carry permits as valid identification for in-person voting. The bill adds "a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm" to the list of acceptable IDs under state election code, directly affecting voters who use concealed carry permits as their primary ID. This change takes effect July 1, 2023, and applies to all polling places and absentee voting locations. The policy update simplifies voter ID requirements for permit holders without altering other identification options.
