|
The Wyoming Repeal Poll Tax, Amendment 1, also known as Amendment No. 1, was on the ballot in Wyoming on November 5, 1968, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.
There were 73,872 yes votes and 32,457 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]
