Poll watchers-polling stations observation.

HB 53 clarifies and formalizes the role of poll watchers in Wyoming elections. The bill requires political parties with candidates on the ballot to certify poll watchers (who must be registered county voters) before each election, limiting them to one per polling place per party unless the chief judge allows more. Poll watchers may observe voter turnout, registration, and vote counting but cannot challenge voters, disrupt operations, or identify how individuals voted. They must wear ID badges and are permitted to observe polling place setup before and shutdown after elections, including during absentee voting periods. The law ensures poll watchers can observe all election processes without interference while maintaining election integrity.
