Voter qualifications-durational residency requirement.
HB 38 requires voters in Wyoming to have lived in the state for at least 30 days before an election to vote for state or local offices. This applies to all elections except presidential races, which maintain their existing shorter residency rule. The bill amends multiple election statutes to include this 30-day residency requirement in the definition of a "qualified elector." It directly affects anyone registering to vote for state or local positions, not federal elections, and requires voters to confirm residency during registration.
