Primary Election Forums
The League of Women Voters of Wyoming partnered with WyoFile and Wyoming Public Media to host six statewide and federal office candidate forums in July. During the live events, journalists from two of Wyoming’s top statewide media outlets posed questions to candidates about key issues facing Wyomingites.
“In Wyoming, our strength comes from our people, but our forward progress depends on our preparation,” said League President Dee Buckstaff. “These forums will educate Wyomingites to allow for more informed ballot decisions. We aren’t just casting ballots in our elections; we are building the future of our communities.”
The forums gave attendees, radio listeners and web-stream viewers an opportunity to hear from candidates seeking Wyoming’s open congressional seats, as well as hopefuls for contested statewide posts:
- U.S. Senate candidates – 7 pm, July 8 @ Casper College Durham Hall, Casper
- Secretary of State candidates – 7 pm, July 15 @ Albany County Public Library, Laramie
- Treasurer candidates – 8 pm, July 15 @ Albany County Public Library, Laramie
- Superintendent of Public Instruction candidates – 7 pm, July 16 @ Albany County Public Library, Laramie
- Gubernatorial candidates at 7 pm, July 22 @ Casper College Durham Hall, Casper
- U.S. House candidates at 7 pm, July 23 @ Casper College Durham Hall, Casper
All forums were free and open to the public. They are available on your local Wyoming Public Radio broadcast with streaming via the Wyoming Public Media and League of Women Voters of Wyoming YouTube pages.

Legislative Session 2026
See our legislative session page for information from this year’s session.
See the official Wyoming legislature website for Interim Committee meeting times, locations, and topics.
At a press conference on February 9, the Wyoming League of Women Voters presented a petition at the Wyoming Legislature at the start of its 2026 budget session. The petition asked lawmakers to oppose unwarranted barriers to voting access. Our petition was signed by 2,389 Wyoming citizens opposing legislation that would construct barriers to voting access.
The League opposes any law-making that fosters distrust in our elections, creates unwarranted barriers to registration, limits access to the ballot box, or undermines our constitutional right to vote.
The League Condemns the Surrender of Voters’ Private Information to the Federal Government
The League of Women Voters of Wyoming is alarmed by Secretary Gray’s decision to surrender Wyoming citizens’ private voter information to the federal government.
This is an unprecedented effort by our federal government to collect sensitive voter data from the Wyoming state government. Data may include Social Security numbers, portions of Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, birth dates, telephone numbers, tribal identification card numbers, email addresses, and similar information.
The safest way to protect sensitive data is to limit access to it, ensuring only those who absolutely need it can access it. States have private, individual voter rolls for a reason. There was no reason to hand over Wyoming voters’ private information to the federal government.
The League knows that voter privacy is paramount to the integrity of our election system. Secretary Gray’s action undermines public confidence in our election process. Additionally, his actions compromise the diligent work of our county clerks who securely maintain Wyoming voter rolls (W.S. 22-2-113).
The League requests that Governor Gordon instruct Attorney General Kautz to examine the authority of the Wyoming Secretary of State, by statute, rule and regulation, and to issue an opinion on Secretary Gray’s actions. Subsequently, an investigation into those actions may be warranted.

- The initiative is part of LWV’s Women Defend Democracy campaign.
- Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts
- Movements whose sizes are at least 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring change. That’s 8.5 million new voters.
