HB0053

Wyoming HB0053 amends election laws to clarify the role and responsibilities of poll watchers.

Wyoming HB0053 amends election laws to clarify the role and responsibilities of poll watchers. It specifies that county chairmen of political parties can certify poll watchers before the election day. Poll watchers must wear identification badges and can observe polling activities but cannot challenge voters or disrupt the process. They can make written memoranda and observe polling setup and shut-down procedures. The bill also allows for more than one poll watcher per party if space permits and mandates that poll watchers be provided chairs at polling places.
