HB 55 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Election ballot order and party affiliation.

This bill changes Wyoming's election ballot rules by allowing independent candidates to list a party affiliation (e.g., "Independent - Green Party") alongside the word "Independent" on ballots. It modifies how candidates are ordered, requiring partisan candidates to appear in sequence based on their party's vote totals from the last congressional election in that county. Independents will still appear after all parties, listed alphabetically, and the bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law. The changes apply to all general election ballots for state and local offices.
