Wyoming votes in the US General Election on Tuesday, November 3rd. Do you know what’s at stake for your community and our state? Do you know who will be appearing on your ballot when you walk into the voting booth that day? Voting is easy, but it’s important to be prepared, especially with the new public health guidelines. Even the most seasoned voter can take steps now to help ensure that this year’s voting is a safe, smooth process.

Fair elections are the foundation of our democracy — they’re how we hold our government accountable.

Learn more about fair elections and voting in Wyoming by joining us on Wednesday, October 14 from 4-5 p.m. MST. This is a FREE event, but you must register to attend.

Below you’ll find all the information you’ll need to be an informed voter on November 3rd.

Where and When Can I Vote?

Early Voting:

  • Early voting is easy! You can vote via mail for early voting ballots (absentee ballots) whose requirements include currently serving in the military overseas, living internationally with no intention of establishing a permanent residence in that country, or being a dependent or spouse of a person whose circumstances belong in one or both of those categories.

Early voting can also be completed in person at your local county courthouse. The Wyoming General Election opens on September 18, 2020, and runs through November 3, 2020.

On Election Day:

  • You can vote anytime between 7 am and 7 pm on the day of the election (November 3, 2020).
  • Voting locations vary from county to county. Visit Wyoming Secretary of State Polling Place Locator to find your polling place. Please note that your voting location may have been changed since the last time you voted.

Where do I return my absentee ballot?

In 2020, you can use the Vote Safely Wyoming mailer to request your absentee ballot. Simply complete the form, sign the oath, and put it in the envelope supplied by the Secretary of State.

Ballots may be returned to the county clerk in the following ways:

  • In-Person – Bring your completed absentee ballot in the signed envelope to your county clerk’s office.
  • By Mail – Mail your completed absentee ballot in the provided envelope to your county clerk’s office. (Mail delivery within the county may take up to seven (7) days, and longer if you’re mailing your ballot from outside the county.)

Note: All Absentee ballots must be received in the county clerk’s office no later than 7:00 pm on Election Day.
