About Wyoming
From Ballotpedia
The State of Wyoming is located in the western region of the United States of America. The easternmost section of the state is a region known as the High Plains due to its altitude above sea level, while the majority of the state is dominated by the mountain ranges and rangelands of the Rocky Mountain West. Wyoming is the least populous U.S. state. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the state population was 515,004 in 2006, a 4.3% increase since 2000. The capital and the most populous city of Wyoming is Cheyenne. Residents of Wyoming are known as Wyomingites.
Wyoming voters, since 1968, have been able to pass new state laws via initiative, and to overturn acts of the Wyoming State Legislature through veto referendum. They also have the right of recall. However, Wyoming signature requirements are so high that only seven initiatives and one veto referendum have appeared on Wyoming ballots in the four decades since they have had this right.
