LWV of Fremont County

The League of Women Voters of Wyoming filed an amicus brief urging a federal court to grant a preliminary injunction against HB 156, a law imposing burdensome and discriminatory proof of citizenship requirements on voter registration in Wyoming.

From January – August 2023, state legislatures nationwide passed various bills into law. While following these developments, the League noticed several important trends around voting rights and election administration.

Without the ability to make reproductive decisions for one’s body, those who can become pregnant cannot participate equally in our democracy.

Further, since the Dobbs decision reversing the right to abortion, numerous state governments have introduced legislation directly or indirectly related to reproductive rights, challenging doctrines of US democracy. 

This opinion was originally published in the Casper Star-Tribune.

The League of Women Voters of Wyoming respond to proposed bills that would make it harder to vote in Wyoming.
