Wyoming voters cannot use ranked-choice voting
Beginning July 1, 2025, elections under Wyoming's election code cannot use ranked-choice voting. Existing or future county, city, or other government ordinances allowing it are void. The ban covers ranking candidates and counting ballots in rounds after eliminating candidates until winners are declared. It also covers any system allowing voters to select more candidates than the number allowed for an office. General election ballots must say “Vote for one” beside each office electing one person. For offices electing multiple people, ballots must say “Vote For Not More Than” and give the number to be elected.
