This amendment changes references to poll watcher 'rights' to 'responsibilities,' modifies the residency requirement from state to county, and establishes specific requirements for poll watcher identification badges.
- Changes terminology from 'rights' to 'responsibilities' in three statutory sections that reference poll watcher authority (W.S. 22-9-125(e), 22-12-101(c), and 22-14-102). (Page 2, line 15; Page 3, lines 1 and 16)
- Changes the residency requirement for poll watchers from 'state' to 'county,' so poll watchers must be registered electors residing in the county rather than the state. (Page 4, line 17)
- Removes the restriction that prevented county clerks from requiring customized badges, and instead establishes specific badge content and format requirements, including the poll watcher's name, party, polling location, and the words 'poll watcher,' with size and format consistent with other poll worker badges. (Page 6, lines 15-17)
- Changes the term 'duties' to 'responsibilities' in the section addressing the secretary of state's rulemaking authority for poll watchers. (Page 6, line 21)
