SF 78 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Distribution of unsolicited absentee ballot request forms.

SF 78 (Wyoming) prohibits most people from sending unsolicited absentee ballot request forms to voters. It specifically bans distribution by anyone except county clerks, the secretary of state, or their authorized staff - unless a voter directly asks for the form. The bill defines "absentee ballot request form" broadly to include any deceptive-looking election documents sent by mail, email, or other means. This directly affects voters who may receive unsolicited forms and organizations attempting to distribute them, aiming to prevent misleading election materials. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
