What’s on My Ballot
You have two opportunities to vote in 2024 – a Primary on August 20 and a General on November 5.
About the Primary Election
The Primary election is when voters affiliated with a major party (Democratic or Republican) choose their party’s nominees who then move forward to the General election. Wyoming has a closed partisan Primary. This means only voters who are registered as affiliated with a major party can participate in the partisan election. A voter who is “unaffiliated” or is registered with a minor party can only vote in a closed partisan Primary if they change their party affiliation before the legal deadline. Some Primary ballots contain nonpartisan races, such as municipal offices, or ballot questions and eligible voters—regardless of party affiliation—are entitled to vote on these races.
Party Affiliation Change Before the Primary: Deadline is May 15, 2024
If you are already registered to vote and want to change your party affiliation before the Primary election, the deadline is the day before candidate filing begins – May 15, 2024. To change your party, you must complete a new registration form with the County Clerk. Wyoming law prohibits party changes at the polls during the Primary Election.
Your Address = Your Ballot
Where you live determines the ballot you’ll receive. Be sure to update your address with the County Clerk or with the election judge before voting. It is a crime to register and vote using a false address.

Constitutional Amendment A to add residential real property as a fourth, separate, class of property for property tax purposes. Under the amendment, the legislature would be authorized to create a subclass of residential property for owner-occupied primary residences, which could be assessed at a different rate from other property in the residential property class.
-In order to pass, a constitutional amendment and statewide ballot issue must receive a majority of the total ballots cast in the election. As an example, if the total number of ballots cast in the general election was 250,701, the majority needed to approve a constitutional amendment would be 125,351.
