Two Wyoming constitutional amendments are up for a vote during the general election.
Constitutional amendment A has to do with how counties and municipalities can invest their funds
Currently the Wyoming Constitution allows the state to invest state funds in equities such as the stock of corporations, but does not allow the funds of counties, cities, and other political subdivisions to be invested in equities.
If voters approve this amendment, it will allow the funds of counties, cities, and other political subdivisions to be invested in equities to the extent and in the manner the legislature may allow by law.
Any law authorizing the investment of specified political subdivision funds in equities would require a two-thirds vote of both houses of the legislature.
Constitutional Amendment B will allow certain judges to stay in office longer.
Currently, the Wyoming Constitution requires Wyoming Supreme Court justices and district court judges to retire upon reaching the age of seventy. Approval of Amendment B increases the mandatory retirement age of Supreme Court justices and district court judges to age seventy-five.
Remember Wyoming has voter ID laws. All registered voters in Wyoming need to confirm their identity when they vote in person.
Acceptable forms include:
Tribal ID Card, valid US Passport, US Military Card, Drivers License or ID Card from Another State, University of Wyoming Student ID, Wyoming Community College Student ID, Wyoming Public School Student ID, or Valid Medicare Insurance Card
You may obtain a free ID for voting from the Wyoming Department of Transportation at a Driver Services Location.
If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to vote a provisional ballot. Your ballot will be counted if you are able to provide ID to your election office before the close of business one day after the election.
