Election purity and hand count-2.
SF 108 requires all Wyoming elections to use paper ballots that are manually counted in public view, replacing electronic voting systems. The bill mandates that ballots be designed for human reading and counting with security features to prevent fraud, and sets statewide standards for ballot handling, storage under 24-hour video surveillance, and public observation of counting. County clerks must maintain a documented chain of custody for ballots and publish final counts within one hour of completion. This law directly affects Wyoming county election officials, the secretary of state, and voters participating in all state and local elections.
