Vacancies in elected office.

HB 35 standardizes procedures for filling vacancies in Wyoming's elected offices, directly affecting governors, U.S. Congress members, state legislators, and other state officials. The bill requires special elections to fill vacancies occurring more than 60 days before a general election for governor, 3 months for state executive offices (like secretary of state), and 6 months for Congress, instead of temporary appointments. It specifies that vacancies within these timeframes must be filled at the next general election. The bill also clarifies election procedures and voting time-off requirements for special elections to fill congressional vacancies.
