More than 271,000 Wyomingites voted in the general election, according to unofficial results from the secretary of state.

That’s about 60 percent of the state’s voting age population – and more than double the number of voters in the August primary, when many races for the state Legislature were decided.

Tuesday’s numbers vastly outpace turnout for the 2022 midterms, when 198,198 Wyomingites voted. They’re second only to the 2020 general election, when 278,503 people cast a ballot in Wyoming.

County canvassing boards are set to certify results by Nov. 8. The state canvassing board will meet on Nov. 13.
