002-26 Wyo. Code R. § 26-6

Current through April 27, 2019

Section 26-6 - Conduct of special district elections

W.S. 22-29-101 through 22-29-114 requires the special district or districts to allow absentee voting if not held in conjunction with any other type of election governed by the Election Code. Absentee voting shall be consistent with procedures for mail ballot elections. In a conventional election, those already registered may request absentee ballots through the day before the election. In tandem with absentee voting, the election may be conducted in one of two ways:

(a) A conventional election day election requires:

• (i) Polling places staffed by election judges who distribute ballots to the voters or operate an electronic voting system and;

• (ii) Districts using an electronic voting system or alternate voting system shall follow the Election Code requirements for security, sealing the machine after the pre-election test, polling place regulations of the voting system and resealing of machines after the polling is completed.

(b) A mail ballot election where all the persons or entities determined to be eligible to vote are mailed ballots, which when voted, are returned to the election official and shall be safeguarded until the deadline for voting passes, which deadline shall be called election day.

(c) In applying the statutes and rules, these shall be applied in the following order: principle act, W.S. W.S. W.S. 22-29-101 through 22-29-114 and these rules for the purpose of clarification.
