crossover voting

More than 122,000 people turned out to vote in Wyoming’s primary election. While that’s the lowest primary turnout since 2016, Wyoming Public Radio heard across the state: some Wyomingites were eager for their voices to be heard.

House Bill 103 places restrictions on crossover voting and was one of three bills this legislative session and nine in previous years that have taken aim at the practice. While the practice has come under fire from some Wyoming Republicans in recent years, others said it allows voters the choice of candidates and parties they wish to support. Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has been a supporter of the bill.

House Bill 103 cleared the Senate Revenue Committee on a 4-1 vote after being recalled from the Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee on a failed 1-3-1 vote. Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray is a supporter of the bill, who claims it would preserve the integrity of the state's elections.
