Both primary and general elections in the state use a plurality voting system to select candidates. Also known as first-past-the-post, a candidate only needs to win the most votes out of any candidate and does not need to attain an outright majority. Wyoming utilizes closed primaries, in which voters must be registered members of a political party to participate in a primary election. Voters have until 96 days before the primary to do so.[3] Some Republican legislators have introduced a bill to create runoff elections for primaries,[4] but has not succeeded.
