CHEYENNE (WNE) — On Thursday, the Wyoming House of Representatives passed House Bill 131, which, if approved, would ban the use of ballot drop boxes in Wyoming.
Banning ballot drop boxes was a key plank of Secretary of State Chuck Gray’s election integrity reform agenda announced earlier this year. House Bill 131 passed the House on third reading 51-10.
“I applaud the House’s passage of House Bill 131,” Gray said in a news release. “Banning ballot drop boxes has been a key priority to advance election integrity, ensuring voter confidence and transparency in Wyoming elections. I want to commend the House’s passage of this bill, which is a key priority of our election integrity reform agenda. I look forward to continuing to work with the Legislature to achieve meaningful, conservative election integrity reform.”
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
