Wyoming law requires the state’s County Clerks purge their voter rolls every two years, meaning clerks are required to remove the names of voters who did not vote in the most recent general election.

Wyoming Secretary of State data reveals there are more than 84,000 fewer registered voters in 2024 than in 2022.

If you voted in the presidential election of 2020 but not the general election in 2022 (even if you voted in the primary), you have likely been purged from the state’s voter rolls. This means you will need to re-register with your county clerk before you are allowed to vote in 2024.

Wyoming does generally have an ebb and flow in voter registration numbers when voter registrations are purged in February after an election year. However, higher than normal voter turnout for the 2020 Presidential Election, combined with near record low voter turnout for the 2022 General Election has resulted in more than 86,000 voters being purged from the rolls.

Routinely, Wyoming’s County Clerks send postcards to the last known address of those being purged, encouraging those voters to contact their clerk if they wish to remain a registered voter in Wyoming. Those contacts were made in 2023.
