Secretary Gray Applauds Legislature's Passage of Bill to Require Proof of Citizenship, Residency to Vote

     CHEYENNE, WY – The Wyoming Legislature has passed House Bill 156, which will require proof of United States citizenship and proof of Wyoming residency to register to vote in Wyoming. House Bill 156 passed the Wyoming House of Representatives 51-8 on third reading, and the Wyoming Senate 26-4 on third reading. House Bill 156 was the number one priority of Secretary of State Chuck Gray’s Election Integrity Agenda announced in December of 2024.

     “I applaud the Wyoming Legislature’s overwhelming passage of House Bill 156, which is the number one plank of our conservative election integrity agenda,” Secretary Gray said in a statement. “Proof of citizenship and proof of residency for registering to vote is so important.  Only United States citizens, and only Wyomingites, should be voting in Wyoming elections.  Period.  HB 156 will ensure that we protect Wyoming elections and is also key in supporting President Trump’s pivotal work to have proof of citizenship for registering to vote with the SAVE Act at the federal level.  With the passage of this landmark legislation, Wyoming will further cement our commitment to election integrity, as the only state to require proof of citizenship for all elections, an important priority of President Trump.  I urge the Governor to sign this common-sense, conservative piece of election integrity legislation.”
