Eligibility and registration details

To vote in Wyoming, one must be a United States citizen, a resident of Wyoming for at least 30 days before Election Day, at least 18 years of age, and not declared mentally incompetent by a court. A person must also not be convicted of a felony unless they have been pardoned or otherwise had their rights restored. Voters must also withdraw their voter registration from any other jurisdiction where they might be registered to vote.[1][2]
The registration deadline is 14 days before the election, but voters may also register and vote on the same day during the absentee voting period or on Election Day. There are three ways to register to vote in Wyoming: in person at the office of the county or town clerk, by mail, or by submitting a completed application form to the county clerk, or at the polls on Election Day. A voter must provide documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote.[1][3]

Early voting

Wyoming permits early voting. Early voting takes place at county clerks' offices and begins 28 days before the election and ends the day before Election Day.[8][9] Learn more by contacting the appropriate county clerk.
Early voting allows citizens to cast their ballots in person at a polling place before an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting. Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire do not offer no-excuse early voting.
Absentee/mail-in voting

No specific deadline is noted for absentee ballot applications. A completed absentee ballot must be received by election officials by 7 p.m. on Election Day.[10]

Voting rules for people convicted of a felony
Individuals convicted of certain felonies automatically have their rights restored after the completion of their sentence, including probation and parole. Individuals convicted of some felonies never regain their right to vote.[11][12]
Any individual who completed their sentence before January 1, 2010, as well as individuals convicted in another state, must submit a written request to have their voting rights restored. Any eligible individual who completed their sentence after that date will have their rights automatically restored.[11][12]
Individuals convicted of a federal felony never regain the right to vote without a pardon.[11] Individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies also never automatically regain the right to vote. According to the Wyoming Department of Corrections, this "includes murder, manslaughter, kidnapping, sexual assault in the first or second degree, robbery, aggravated assault, strangulation of a household member, aircraft hijacking, arson in the first or second degree, aggravated burglary, a violation of W.S. § 6-2-314(a)(i) or 6-2-315(a)(ii), third, or subsequent, domestic battery under W.S.§ 6-2-511(a) and (b)(iii) or a violation of W.S. § 6-5-204(b), Interference with a Peace Officer (includes attempt and conspiracy to the underlying offense, as well)."[11]
Voting rights for people convicted of a felony vary from state to state. In the majority of states, people convicted of a felony cannot vote while they are incarcerated but may regain the right to vote upon release from prison or at some point thereafter.[13]
