Wyoming continues to see an increase in early voter turnout across the state compared with previous election cycles.

“As the State’s Chief Election official, I continue to be excited about administering the upcoming General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 5,” Secretary of State Chuck Gray said in a news release. “Turnout continues to outpace the 2022 General Election across the Cowboy State as eligible Wyoming voters exercise their right to vote.
