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.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment A: The adoption of this amendment would separate residential real property into its own class of property for purposes of property tax assessments. The amendment would authorize the legislature to create a subclass of owner occupied primary residences. (Original Senate Joint Resolution SJ0003)(PDF, 12KB)
-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.
Conservation District Tax: "Shall the Laramie County Commissioners continue to impose a conservation district tax, not to exceed one-half (1/2) mill, on all property within Laramie County for the purpose of providing soil and water conservation programs directed by the Laramie County Conservation District?
