Gov. Mark Gordon won’t say if he’ll sign a bill requiring Wyoming residents to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

A bill requiring Wyoming residents to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote is sitting on Gov. Mark Gordon’s desk awaiting signature. But the Republican governor is refusing to say whether he’ll sign it into law.
On Friday, the Wyoming House approved HB 156, which would amend state law by mandating all “qualified elector[s]” to have been a “bona fide resident of Wyoming for not less than thirty (30) days before the date of the election at which he offers to vote.” The bill also includes examples of documentation eligible registrants must provide to prove their U.S. citizenship.
