Wyoming Notes

Important state-specific details

NO ONLINE REGISTRATION - prohibited by Wyoming statute; in-person preferred; mail requires notarization.
SAME-DAY REGISTRATION: available during absentee period and Election Day; excellent option.
CITIZENSHIP PROOF REQUIRED: Wyoming requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship at registration; not just an attestation.
MAIL REGISTRATION REQUIRES NOTARIZATION: unusual nationally.
REGISTRATION CANCELED if you miss one general election (Wyoming cancels inactive registrations after one missed general election - unusual; must re-register if you missed the last general election and your registration was canceled).
FELONY VOTING RIGHTS: Non-violent, non-repeat felons automatically receive a Certificate of Restoration of Rights upon completing sentence (including probation and parole) under Wyoming law; violent felons or repeat offenders must petition for restoration; overall more complex than many states; verify current status at wdoc.wyo.gov or with county Clerk.
PHOTO ID REQUIRED to vote in person: WY driver's license, WY ID card, military ID, U.S. passport, tribal ID, student ID (WY school with name, photo, and address); some temporary exceptions through 2029.
30-day Wyoming residency required before election.
Polls open 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Mountain Time.
