Major party candidates

A candidate seeking the nomination of a major party for state or federal office must be registered with the party whose nomination he or she seeks. The candidate must submit an application for nomination form to the Wyoming Secretary of State. If running for state legislative office, the candidate must be a resident of the district in which he or she seeks election for at least 12 months preceding the election. If running for governor, the candidate must be a resident of the state for at least five years prior to the election. If running for another statewide office, the candidate must be a registered elector in the state.[1][2][3][4]

The application must be accompanied by a filing fee. No application will be considered valid without a filing fee. The candidate must file the application and filing fee no later than 81 days before the primary election.[5]

Minor and provisional party candidates

A candidate seeking the nomination of a minor or provisional party is nominated by party convention. To be certified as the nominee of a minor or provisional party at a party's state convention, the candidate must submit an application for nomination to the Wyoming Secretary of State, along with the required filing fee (the filing fees are the same as those required of major party candidates). The candidate must file the requisite paperwork no later than 81 days prior the primary election.[7]

Independent candidates

An independent candidate for partisan office must be nominated by filing a signed petition. The petition must be approved by the Wyoming Secretary of State prior to circulation. The petition must be accompanied by the same fee required of party candidates. Petitions must be filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State no later than 70 days before a general election.[8][9][10]

For a statewide office, the petition must be signed by registered electors, which are defined as residents of the state eligible to vote for the petitioner, numbering at least 2 percent of the total number of votes cast for United States Representative in the last general election for the entire state.[11]

For a state legislative office, the petition must be signed by registered electors equaling at least 2 percent of the total number of votes cast for the office in that particular district in the last general election.[11]

Write-in candidates

Each person who requests to have all votes cast for him or her as a write-in candidate counted must file an application for candidacy together with the appropriate filing fee with Wyoming Secretary of State no later than two days after the election in which the person desires to have the write-in votes counted.[12]

Redistricting following the 2020 census

On March 25, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) allowed the state’s legislative maps to become law without signing the redistricting bill approved by the legislature. The legislature approved Wyoming HB100 on March 11. The bill added one Senate seat and two House of Representatives seats to the state legislature. The Senate passed legislative redistricting plans, voting 20-10 to approve an amended version of the Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Interim Committee's proposal.[15] The House rejected maps approved by the Senate in a 46-11 vote on March 8. Legislative leaders formed a committee of three representatives and three senators to resolve disputes over the proposals.[16] On March 11, the House passed the maps in a 44-12 vote, and the Senate passed the maps in a 17-12 vote.[17]
