Election Security:  The League of Women Voters of Wyoming believes that voting is a fundamental right that must be supported and protected. We oppose legislation limiting those rights that discourage voting, add expense, and create unnecessary barriers. Voter fraud is NOT occurring in Wyoming.

Wyoming elections are secure: There is no evidence of voter impersonation. There is no evidence that current absentee voting laws, use of ballot drop boxes, or early voting have resulted in any significant abuse. Restriction on voter choice of party affiliation eliminates options and discourages voting.

The League campaigned to encourage youth voter registration in the 2024 general election.

Primary Election 2018

Voter Guide

The Boomerang and the Laramie League of Women Voters are pleased to bring you this Voter Guide to statements by candidates who responded to our questionnaire.
All candidates were mailed three questions in a letter sent June 29 to the address of record provided when they filed for office. If an email was provided, a duplicate was sent there. The first question was the same for all candidates. All questions were developed by the League of Women Voters. Candidates had 100 words per question and a deadline. They also received reminders.
If over the 100-word limit the response was cut up from the bottom to the closest complete thought. The omission is indicated by three dots (. . .) at the end. If there are three dots within the body of the paragraph, the candidate wrote it that way. Statements published here are exactly as the candidate replied. Capitalization, punctuation, grammar and other potential errors were not corrected. Bulleted lists and separate paragraphs were changed to single paragraph style for responses to each question.
There is a preamble to each race in the Voter Guide, stating salary, term of office and other pertinent information. Voters should be aware that the 2018 primary ballot is especially lengthy because projects for the tax renewal are listed
