Wyoming election officials face private funding ban
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming agencies and state or county election officials cannot request, accept, use, or dispose of private donations for election administration. This includes donated money, grants, property, and personal services for voter education, outreach, and registration. People and nongovernment groups cannot offer or provide these banned donations; election costs must be paid with public funds. Exceptions allow food for election training or education, and election-day food for poll workers and other election staff. Federal funds and private property used as polling places remain allowed as provided by law. The ban does not cover special-district elections conducted under W.S. 22-29-113. The act’s title identifies new misdemeanor offenses, but the provided operative text does not specify penalties.
