Welcome to FindLaw’s Wyoming Voter Guide. Here, we will answer your questions about voter registration, early voting, and absentee voting. We will also explain how to find your polling place, what to bring to the polls, and what to do if you see illegal activity at the voting locations.

Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican, the same voting rules apply. If you plan to vote in the next presidential or local election, you should know your state’s voting laws. This guide will come in handy as you prepare for the upcoming general election.

Am I eligible to vote in Wyoming?

You must meet specific requirements to vote in Wyoming elections.

The law requires that you:

  • Be 18 years old on Election Day
  • Be a U.S. citizen
  • Be a resident of Wyoming and the precinct where you registered to vote
  • Provide a valid form of identification

You cannot vote in a Wyoming election if:

  • The courts have ruled you mentally incompetent
  • You have a felony conviction, although the State may restore your voting rights

Contact your local election officials if you aren’t sure of your registration status.

POLLING PLACE FINDER

Where Do I Vote?

Your voting location depends on where in Wyoming you live. The Wyoming Secretary of State’s website has a Polling Place Locator you can use to find your local polling place.

How To Register in Wyoming

There are several ways to register to vote in Wyoming. This includes registering:

In Person

You can complete a Wyoming Voter Registration Form at your local Wyoming County Clerk’s Office.

By Mail

You can download a Registration Form and mail it to your county clerk’s office.

At the Polls

You can register to vote at the polls on Election Day. Use the Polling Place Locator to find your voting location. 

No Online/DMV

You cannot register to vote online in Wyoming, and you cannot register at Wyoming Driver License Offices.

What’s Wyoming’s voter registration deadline?

In Wyoming, you must register to vote at least two weeks before election day. If you miss the two-week deadline, you can register at the polls on Election Day.

If you wish to cast an absentee ballot, it’s best to register far in advance of Election Day.

How do I request an absentee ballot in Wyoming?

If you want to vote by absentee ballot, contact your local Wyoming county clerk. You can also submit an Absentee Ballot Request Form via email.

If you are in the military or living overseas, visit the Wyoming Secretary of State’s website to register, submit, and track your absentee ballot.

What do I need to bring to the polls in Wyoming?

Under the Wyoming Voter’s ID Law, all voters must present a photo ID when voting in person.

Some acceptable forms of ID include:

  • Wyoming Driver’s License or ID Card
  • Tribal ID Card
  • Valid US Passport
  • US Military Card

If you don’t have an acceptable form of ID, you can get a free Wyoming Identification Card at a driver services location.

What special accommodations are available?

If you are a Wyoming voter with disabilities, you have certain rights.

These include:

  • Help reading a ballot
  • Assistance marking a ballot
  • The company of your service animal
  • Accessible voting machines

If you require any additional assistance, contact your local election office.

What if I see something illegal at the polls?

If you witness or experience something you think is illegal, fill out a Wyoming Election Code Violation Complaint Form and submit it to your county clerk.

If you believe someone has violated your voting rights, consider seeking the advice and assistance of an experienced legal professional.
