The Wyoming Initiative and Referendum, Amendment 1, also known as Amendment No. 1, was on the ballot in Wyoming on November 4, 1986, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.
There were 15,179 yes votes and 6,492 no votes cast for the measure, but Ballotpedia was unable to determine if the measure passed or failed. For a measure to pass in Wyoming, it must receive a majority of the total votes cast in an election. Since the Wyoming Secretary of State only lists election results from 1996 to the present, Ballotpedia was unable to find the total votes cast and could not determine if the measure passed or failed.[1][1]

Text of measure

The question on the ballot:

This amendment will provide that enactment or rejection of an initiated or referred measure will be based on the number of voters voting in the election in which the initiative or referendum is considered rather than on the number of voters voting at the preceding general election.[1][2]
