Summary
Several public commenters told the committee that Wyoming’s election focus should prioritize increasing turnout and access rather than adding restrictions; some urged preserving drop boxes and expanding voter outreach while others echoed calls for hand counts and stronger audits after 2024 irregularities.
Multiple public commenters addressed the committee on May 8, urging attention to voter access and turnout and expressing a range of views on security and hand counts.

"Our energy is in the wrong place," she said, asking lawmakers to prioritize measures that help eligible voters register and vote.
