Wyoming residents who didn’t participate in the 2022 general election may have been removed from the registered voter list during a routine purge and may need to re-register to cast their ballots in November.
The timeframe for absentee voting has been shortened, reduced from 45 days to 28 days.
A concealed carry permit has been added to the list of acceptable forms of identification to vote. If you apply in person for a mail ballot, you need to show ID just as you would if voting in person.
Medicare and Medicaid insurance cards will no longer be an acceptable form of identification for voting purposes after Dec. 31, 2029.
The voter registration deadline is Monday, Oct. 21. If you miss it, you may still register and cast a ballot during early voting or on Election Day.
Register by mail or in person:
On Election Day, you can register and vote at your polling place, which you can find on your county clerk’s website or by contacting your county clerk. Bring an acceptable form of ID, such as your state driver’s license, U.S. passport or government ID.
You can check your registration status with your local county clerk’s office.
Any registered voter may request an absentee ballot without a reason.
Registered voters may request an absentee ballot from their county clerk at any time during an election year, but not on Election Day.
Absentee voting begins on Tuesday, Oct. 8, and ends Monday, Nov. 4.
Absentee ballots must be received — not just postmarked — in the county clerk's office no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5. Ballots received after this deadline will not be counted.
You can submit your completed absentee ballot:
Contact your county clerk to check the status of your ballot.
Early in-person absentee voting will run from Tuesday, Oct. 8, to Monday, Nov. 4. Contact your individual county clerk’s office and check their websites for hours and locations.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5. You will be permitted to vote as long as you are in line by 7 p.m.
To find out where to vote, and to view ballot information, enter your address in the secretary of state’s Polling Place Locator or contact your county clerk’s office. More information is available on the Wyoming elections website.
Voters must present an acceptable form of ID when voting in person, such as a driver’s license or ID card, U.S. passport, tribal or military card, or student ID card. A complete list of approved IDs is on the state election website. Medicare and Medicaid insurance cards are still acceptable forms of ID through Dec. 31, 2029.
Voters with disabilities may request assistance from workers at their polling sites. You may also receive assistance from an individual of your choice, with the exception of your employer or union official.
County clerks must also offer one or more accessible alternatives, such as curbside voting. Check your county clerk’s office website for more information on assistance offered in your area to help voters with special needs.
If you have difficulty getting to your polling place due to a disability, you may also secure an absentee ballot.
Editor’s note: This guide was first published on Jan. 31, 2024 and has been updated with new information about voting in the 2024 elections.
