By signing up with the Equality State Policy Center, you'll receive updates on our work to improve the lives of all of Wyoming's people through transparent government, fair elections, and thriving communities. We advance our vision by advocating in all levels of government, increasing civic engagement both inside and outside of governmental processes, and holding our elected officials accountable for the decisions they make across Wyoming.
Support: Supporting this resolution aligns with our commitment to fair elections by ensuring that the voices of everyday citizens are not drowned out by unlimited spending from wealthy special interests. The rising costs of campaigns, reflected in ESPC’s recent campaign finance reports, make it harder for ordinary people to run for office and for voters to have an equal say with their dollar power. Agree? 
Concerns: Masquerading as a transparency bill, this bill shoves together many components of other bills we oppose. Despite the lack of evidence that we have an issue with voter fraud in our state, this bill imposes unnecessary barriers and opens our processes up to errors.
ESPC Concerns: This bill creates a $2 million fund for runoff election costs and increases candidate spending. We agree with the intent of this bill, however, we believe in saving money and increasing voter turnout. We think a bill like this should be implemented in a single election, with the top two vote-getters facing off in the General.
