Electoral reform in Wyoming

Electoral reform in Wyoming

Electoral reform in Wyoming refers to efforts to change the voting laws in this U.S. state. Because Wyoming has only one Congressional district, gerrymandering is not a consideration in federal races. In March 2003, Governor Dave Freudenthal signed a bill to allow people convicted of a non-violent first-time felony to apply for restoration of voting rights five years after completion of sentence. Wyoming also has a "no-excuse" absentee ballot policy, meaning that citizens need not provide a reason for requesting an absentee ballot [ [http://soswy.state.wy.us/press/ertfr.htm Meyer and Nighswonger Release The National Election Center Election Reform Task Force Report] , Wyoming Secretary of State, August 9, 2001.] . election-stub
