Congratulations!
You have made the first step in exercising your right to vote. Our office understands that casting a ballot for the first time can be exciting and even a bit overwhelming. It's kind of like the first time you jumped off the diving board as a kid, you may have had mixed feelings of excitement and terror, but after that first jump, you were ecstatic to do it again. Voting is like taking that first jump; you never regret it and you're so glad you did it. Our office and the County Clerks are committed to ensuring the voting process is an easy and positive experience for you.
Understanding Wyoming's Election Process
Wyoming's election process consists of the Primary and General election. However, during a Presidential election year, voters will not see names of Presidential candidates on their Primary Election ballot. Because Wyoming is a caucus/convention state, the recognized political parties in the state certify their nominees for President to our office following their national conventions. Candidates for U.S. President, nominated by their national party conventions, and independent candidates will only appear on the Wyoming General Election ballot.
For specific information on the state party delegate and candidate preference process, you may visit the respective party's website for information and party bylaws or our Political Party section.
Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information on voting for the first time. If you have any additional questions that are not listed within the FAQ's, please don't hesitate to contact our office at (307) 777-5860 or Elections@wyo.gov
