Secretary Gray Celebrates Committee Passage of Proof of Citizenship, Residency Requirements to Vote

     CHEYENNE, WY – On January 15th, the Wyoming Legislature’s House Corporations Committee passed House Bill 156 and House Bill 157, which require proof of United States citizenship and proof of Wyoming residency to register to vote in Wyoming. Both bills represent the number one plank of Secretary Gray’s election integrity reform agenda. Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray testified in support of both bills.

     “I am very pleased by the committee’s passage of these common-sense, conservative, election integrity bills,” Secretary Gray said in a statement. “By requiring documentary proof of United States citizenship and Wyoming residency, we will ensure only Wyomingites are voting in Wyoming elections.  I want to commend the committee’s passage of these bills, and look forward to continuing to work with the Legislature to achieve meaningful, conservative reform.”
