Welcome to WyoFile's 
guide to the 2024 election. This year, Wyoming voters will select candidates to fill two federal offices as well as 62 House seats and 15 Senate seats in the state Legislature.
The 2024 primary election was Tuesday, Aug. 20. The general election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5.
WyoFile — a statewide, independent, nonprofit, public-interest news service — created this guide to help voters inform themselves before heading to the polls. Every federal and state legislative candidate was sent a questionnaire crafted by WyoFile reporters and editors about the key issues facing Wyoming. The candidates' responses, or lack thereof, are included in their original, unedited form in the guide.

Ballot Proposition
In November's general election, Wyoming voters will decide the fate of "Constitutional Amendment A," which lawmakers set in motion in 2023 to address rising residential property taxes.
Because the Wyoming Constitution now groups residential property in the same tax class as commercial and industrial properties, lawmakers are prohibited from making isolated changes to how homes are taxed.
Senate Joint Resolution 3 - Property tax residential property class proposed amending the constitution to separate residential property tax into its own tax class. Registered voters will be able to vote for or against "Constitutional Amendment A" which "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."

Judge Retention
Supreme Court justices, district judges, circuit judges and chancery court judges are appointed by the governor after completing a recommendation process overseen by the state’s Judicial Nominating Commission.
After judges serve their first term, voters get to decide if a jurist should continue to serve by casting a "yes" or "no" retention vote. Judges who do not receive a majority of "yes" votes are removed at the end of the year.
To help voters evaluate judges' professional competency, the Wyoming Bar Association publishes performance assessments based on feedback from attorneys who appeared before those judges during the previous two years.
Judges up for retention with links to their Wyoming Bar Association performance assessments are listed below.

Common Voting Questions
WHEN ARE WYOMING'S 2024 ELECTIONS?
The primary election was Tuesday, Aug. 20 and the general election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTION?
Voters affiliated with a major party — Democratic or Republican — vote in the primary election to determine which nominees advance to the general election. Because Wyoming has a closed partisan primary, only voters registered with a major party can vote for candidates in partisan races. For the 2024 election, the deadline for registered voters to change party affiliation was May 15. In the primary election, unaffiliated voters or minor-party-affiliated voters can still vote, but their ballot only includes non-partisan races, like those for municipal offices.
Eligible voters who are not yet registered — including those purged from the voter rolls for lack of recent participation — can do so, and select a party affiliation, at their polling place on the primary or general election day.
All registered voters — regardless of party affiliation — can vote in the general election for candidates to fill offices at the federal, state and local levels. General election voters also get to decide on ballot initiatives and whether to retain judges.

You can register to vote at your polling place on election day. You must bring documents to prove you’re eligible to register and vote in Wyoming.
