Registered sex offenders barred from covered offices

Beginning July 1, 2026, people currently on Wyoming’s central sex offender registry cannot run for or receive appointments to covered offices. The law applies to people elected or appointed on or after that date. Covered offices include statewide elected offices, legislative seats, county commissioners, sheriffs, and county or district attorneys. They also include county clerks, treasurers, coroners, district court clerks, city attorneys, mayors, and city or town governing bodies. Education offices include school district trustees, community college district boards, University of Wyoming trustees, and the state board of education. Election officials must refuse to certify an ineligible candidate’s name. A covered office held by someone disqualified under this law is treated as vacant.
