Wyoming posted a record-breaking turnout during the just-completed primary election. Secretary of State Edward Buchanan says “This election had the highest turnout for a primary in a presidential election year ever, and that is truly notable. The Wyoming State Canvassing Board certified the primary election results on Wednesday, making the 2020 Primary Election results official. Buchanan says the counties made polling places safe and worked hard to inform voters about the security and safety of Wyoming’s voting process. Voters listened and proved that even when times are tough – perhaps especially when times are tough – Wyoming votes. 140,042 ballots were cast in the 2020 Wyoming Primary Election. The last primary election that surpassed this number was the 1994 Midterm Election. 62 percent of ballots, or 86,441 votes, were cast at the polls on election day or by in-person absentee, the rest were cast absentee by mail.
