Wyoming aligns voter rules with next election

Beginning June 1, 2026, Wyoming uses the next election to check voter age and residency across related election laws. You must be 18 by that election and have lived in Wyoming for at least 30 days before it. Registration age rules also use the next election, not just the next general election. The law keeps the existing 14-day pre-election registration period. Existing rules still require U.S. citizenship and voter registration. People currently ruled mentally incompetent by a court cannot qualify, nor can people with felony convictions unless civil or voting rights are restored. The updated registration oath requires applicants to affirm these qualifications, Wyoming and county residency, and that all information is true. Applicants must also agree to withdraw any registration in another county or state. Literacy tests remain prohibited.
