District map
Redistricting
2020 redistricting cycle
On March 25, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) allowed the state’s legislative maps to become law without signing the redistricting bill approved by the legislature. The legislature approved Wyoming HB100 on March 11. The bill added one Senate seat and two House of Representatives seats to the state legislature. The Senate passed legislative redistricting plans, voting 20-10 to approve an amended version of the Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Interim Committee's proposal.[7] The House rejected maps approved by the Senate in a 46-11 vote on March 8. Legislative leaders formed a committee of three representatives and three senators to resolve disputes over the proposals.[8] On March 11, the House passed the maps in a 44-12 vote, and the Senate passed the maps in a 17-12 vote.[9]
How does redistricting in Wyoming work? Wyoming is home to one at-large congressional district, making congressional redistricting unnecessary. State legislative district lines are drawn by the state legislature. State legislative district plans are subject to veto by the governor.[10]
In 2011, a joint legislative committee adopted the following guidelines for state legislative redistricting:[10]
- Districts should be contiguous and compact.
- Districts should "reflect a community of interest."
- Districts should "consider significant geographic features."
- "A majority of the population of each county" should reside within a single district.
- "Consideration should be given to nesting two House districts in each state Senate district."
