In late October, the Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee of the Wyoming Legislature held their last interim meeting before the 2024 Legislative Session. During the interim session, the committee considered and forwarded a number of bill drafts that were requested by Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, including a bill which will impose a durational residency requirement to register to vote in Wyoming, a bill prohibiting private funding of elections, and bills eliminating ambiguities related to school board elections and special district vacancies.
Secretary of State Gray said he’s grateful for the collaborative effort that led to several committee-sponsored bills advancing election integrity and security.
Gray said that he looks forward to continuing to work with members of the Legislature on meaningful reforms to advance election integrity and election security in the state. The 2024 Budget Session of the Wyoming Legislature will begin Monday, February 12.

Ask the people who have run elections in Wyoming. This is a made up issue, touted by media family trust baby Chuckie, so the dim witted Repubs have some energy. While real patriots would work to make sure everyone eligible can vote, current repubs and Chuckie play a different game – trying to restrict voting to only those who want to tell other citizens how to think, believe, and live. I just can’t believe what has happened to the libertarian leaning GOP of Wyoming (who also had integrity and respect for others). Replaced by chest thumping conformists.
