I want to correct a little confusion caused by my story regarding voter registration in Wyoming.

The article I published gave some folks the impression that the 15th was the deadline day for registering to vote, period.

That is not the case.

YES, you can still register to vote right up to election day

What you can't do is switch parties, vote, then switch back.

I received this note from the registration office in Laramie.

We are a same day voter registration state.

May 15th date only pertains to people that are registered by today, you can’t change your party but someone who just moved here can change their party.

Crossover voting in Wyoming involves voters from other parties, like Democrat, Libertarian, or Constitution party, crossing over to vote in the Republican primary and then crossing back to their own party for the general election.

 

The Wyoming voter purge process

This process clears the voter rolls of people who have died or moved to another state. So if you didn't vote in the 2022 general election, your name would be on the purge Look for a postcard from our office stating that you did not vote in the 2022 election. But even if you don't get a postcard it's a good idea to check to ensure you are registered.

Absentee voting

In the past absentee voting started 45 days prior to every election. But now you only have 28 days. So get on the list to get that absentee ballot.

Finding your local election office is easy in Wyoming.

You can look online for where to register in your area by visiting the Wyoming Secretary Of State's website. 

If you cannot register in person at any of your county's locations, you may register by mail.

The Wyoming Secretary Of State's website has a list of items you will need in order to register.

Outstanding Graffiti Train Passes Through Wyoming

We all see the graffiti on trains that pass through Wyoming.

But have you ever paused just a moment to look at it?

A lot is garbage.

But some of this still can be considered art.

Even great art.

Other times it's just an interesting message.

Reading The Past - Chugwater Wyoming Newspaper

These pages of the old Chugwter Wyoming newspaper show us coverage of the region from back in the 1940s.

There was little local news, other than the war.

But what was published at the time was important to the people of the area.

It was, in most case, the only news they had from outside their little ranch or town.
