WASHINGTON — Wyoming voters will decide races for president, Congress, the state Legislature and a statewide ballot measure in the Nov. 5 general election.

The state gave Republican former President Donald Trump his largest victory in the 2020 election, a feat he would like to repeat when he competes with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and a third-party candidate for Wyoming's three electoral votes.

Republican U.S. Sen. John Barrasso faces a challenge from Democrat Scott Morrow in a bid for a fourth six-year term. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, a Republican, faces Democrat Kyle Cameron and two other candidates in a race for the at-large seat representing the entire state in the U.S. House. Hageman was first elected in 2022 after defeating three-term incumbent and Trump critic Liz Cheney in the Republican primary.

Wyoming voters also will decide on a proposed amendment to state property tax laws that would authorize the Legislature to create a subclass of residential property for owner-occupied primary residences. Property listed under the new classification could be assessed at a different — most likely lower — rate from other property in the residential class.

Wyoming is reliably Republican and has supported the GOP candidate for president in every election since 1952, with the exception of Democrat Lyndon Johnson in 1964.

The AP does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it has determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.

Here’s a look at what to expect in the 2024 election in Wyoming:

Election Day

Nov. 5.

Poll closing time

9 p.m. ET.

(Note: Wyoming allows eligible voters to register on Election Day, which could result in the total number of votes cast in an election to exceed the number of people registered at the start of Election Day. This has happened in the last six presidential elections going back to 2000.)
