The Wyoming Primary is August 19

Wyoming's primary is strictly closed so that only registered voters of a political party can vote in that party's election. This year Wyoming will elect a Senator. The incumbent is Sen. Mike Enzi (R). For a brief time he had Liz Cheney as a primary opponent. She has dropped out due to questions of residency. There are four other primary challengers, but, none are expected to un-seat the incumbent. There are four candidates for the Democratic Party nomination, one Independent, and one Libertarian.

Early voting is allowed in Wyoming and begins 40 days prior to the election. Voters do not have to give a reason.

Wyoming only has one Congressional district and the incumbent, Cynthia Lummis, has a Republican challenger in this primary. There is one Democratic candidate and one Libertarian candidate.

The Republican Governor, Matt Mead, has two Republican opponents in this primary.

In the Wyoming legislature, Republicans hold 26 of the 30 seats in the Senate and 52 of the 60 in the state House.  For more information on the Wyoming elections, please see: http://soswy.state.wy.us/elections/Default.aspx
