A convicted felon (regardless of where they were convicted) must have their Wyoming voting rights restored in order to vote in Wyoming’s elections. Felons who register and vote illegally are subject to prosecution. Persons convicted of false swearing or false voting may be sentenced to five years’ imprisonment in the state penitentiary or a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
Individuals who were discharged from Wyoming Department of Corrections’ custody or supervision prior to January 1, 2010; have a nonviolent felony conviction outside of the state of Wyoming; OR have a nonviolent felony conviction under federal law may apply to have their voting rights restored.
Those who were discharged from Wyoming Department of Corrections’ custody (including Wyoming inmates housed out-of-state) on or after January 1, 2010, AND were convicted in the State of Wyoming automatically have their right to vote restored (W.S. §7-13-105).
For more information on the restoration process and access to the application, visit the Wyoming Department of Corrections website.
