Healthcare access, quality public education, affordable communities, and accessible public lands are just a few of the issues that state legislators, county commissioners, city councilors, and school board trustees make big decisions about. All of these leaders play major roles in our day-to-day lives and shape the Wyoming that future generations will inherit.
Voting is one of the most important ways that we can make our voices heard and express the will of our communities.
Better Wyoming will provide you with all the information you need to cast a ballot, including updates when and how to cast a ballot, and which political offices influence issues you care about. Sign up to commit to be a Wyoming voter in 2024 today,
Most political decisions that affect our day-to-day lives aren’t made by national politicians. They're made by people we vote for further down the ballot, in our local and state election. From education to housing, good jobs to the environment, these issues are shaped by the actions of local and state elected officials. This election season, make sure you know who impacts the issues you care about.
Wyoming’s public education system is among the best in the country, providing hardworking Wyoming families and communities with a quality education that many other rural states lack. To protect Wyoming’s education system, vote for candidates who support well-funded schools, and who keep education free from the hot-button politics that hinder teachers' ability to educate our next generations.
- State legislators determine school funding levels and write laws impacting public schools, such as efforts to ban books and punish librarians or to create positive new programs like universal pre-K education.
- School Board Trustees oversee local school districts, making decisions about curriculum, teacher pay, and broad policies that affect students' well-being.

Rev. Bob Garrard
I vote because it is a right and responsibility as a citizen of the USA. Nowhere else can I send a more meaningful political message. If I do not vote, then this right can disappear. I vote even when I know my vote may be like spitting into the Wyoming wind.
Jordan Bishop
For me, voting is a concrete way that I can put my faith into action. I believe that all people of good conscience have an obligation to vote based on our values, not on a partisan basis. If we value human dignity, equality, and justice then it is our moral duty to make our voices heard by voting in local, state, and national elections.
