Voter Registration
Registration Deadline: You may register and vote at your polling place on Election Day. You may also register to vote in person at the County Clerk’s office or by mail not less than 14 days before an election.
Party Affiliation:
If you want to vote for Republican or Democratic candidates in the primary, you must be a registered voter of that party. Under Wyoming law, primary elections are mainly held to nominate candidates for partisan offices to be filled at the general election. If you are unaffiliated or are a member of a minor or provisional political party, you will receive a primary ballot containing only non-partisan candidates.
To change your party affiliation or to declare a new affiliation, complete the Wyoming Voter Registration Application & Change Form and submit it to your County Clerk’s office not later than 14 days before the primary election. You may also change your party affiliation at your polling place on the day of the primary or general election, or when requesting an absentee ballot.

Under Article 15, Section 11 of the Constitution, for purposes of property taxes, all property is required to be uniformly valued at its full value in three classes: the gross production of minerals and mine products; industrial property; and all other property real and personal. The third class includes residential property, commercial property, agricultural property and personal property.
This amendment to the Constitution would create a fourth class of property by making residential property a separate class from the all other property class.
The Constitution also prohibits the Legislature from creating any subclass within the authorized classes of property. This amendment would allow the Legislature to create a subclass of residential property for owner occupied primary residences.
