More winning - Proof of Citizenship to vote should be the law of the land. It's going to happen.
Wyoming has become the first state to enact legislation that mandates proof of citizenship for voting. The law includes proof of residency requirements and was prioritized by Secretary of State Chuck Gray during recent legislative sessions. Governor Mark Gordon allowed the bill to become law.
Gray stated, "This bill requires proof of citizenship for registering to vote and also proof of residency for registering to vote, and it's a landmark bill that was the number one priority of our conservative election integrity reform agenda, which we brought to the 2025 general session and really is the first state in the nation to have an ironclad proof of citizenship requirement in state law."
Under the law, voters must present one of nine acceptable forms of identification to confirm their citizenship and residency. The legislation will take effect in July.
Gray said, "It's in line with what President Trump is working on at the federal level with the SAVE Act, which hopefully is going to come to the floor of the Congress very soon, and to be the first state in the nation that has that ironclad proof of citizenship requirement. I think it's a wonderful moment for election integrity, for our state and for our nation, and hopefully helps in passage of the SAVE Act in the Congress, because this is a huge priority of the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump also implemented voter identification reforms. He recently signed an executive order that requires proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and mandates that all ballots be received by Election Day.
Gray stated, "This is a huge priority of President Trump and we support President Trump 100%." He added, "The people of Wyoming are the huge winners here, and I think it will have a huge effect nationally in terms of bringing this through at the state level, and I'm very hopeful that it's also going to be brought through in the coming weeks on the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington."
Trump said, "There are other steps that we will be taking in the coming weeks." He added, "We think we'll be able to end up getting fair elections."
The new law has attracted significant attention and is expected to inspire similar legislation nationwide as Republican lawmakers aim to strengthen voter identification measures. Gordon wrote, "Whether the federal or state statute will prevail in a legal contest is a question that will have to be resolved in court."
