(October 19, 2020) — Today is the last day residents can pre-register to vote in the upcoming November 3 general election. Locally, voter registration can occur at the Sweetwater County Courthouse in Green River today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Voters can still register to vote at the polls on election day.

State law provides that a person may register to vote not less than 14 days before an election. “Qualified elector” includes: being a citizen of the United States; be at least eight (18) years of age on the day of the next general election; is a bona fide resident of Wyoming; not currently adjudicated mentally incompetent; has not been convicted of a felony, or if convicted has had his civil or voting rights restored.
