Wyoming expands post-election audit requirements, enacts three other election bills in 2026 session
On March 11, Wyoming lawmakers adjourned for the 2026 regular session after enacting four election-related bills.
Among those bills was SF 113, which requires election officials to conduct a hand count audit of physical ballots cast during the 2026 primary and general elections.
Each county is required to hand-count as close to 5% of all ballots as possible for one statewide and one federal race chosen by the secretary of state. Any inconsistencies are required to be reported to the state.
This requirement is in addition to Wyoming’s existing post-election audit, which mandates a review of a statistically significant sample of ballots, up to 5% of the total number of ballots cast.
