Initial Laramie County Voter Turnout Running Ahead Of 2022

Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee reports that early voting turnout for 2026 is running well ahead of the most comparable recent election in 2022.

According to a news release from the county clerk's office, early voting started on October 6. The release says that "in the first three days, a total of 1,212 voters cast their ballots in the Atrium of the Governmental Complex. 446 voters voted early on the first day, followed by 411 on day two, and 355 on day three.:

By comparison, in 2022, early voting over the same period totaled only 290. But in 2022, voters had 45 days of early voting. The legislature changed the law to only 28 days starting in 2024.

Early Voting Continues Through November 2

Early voting will continue through November 2, except for county holidays and closures. There will be no early voting on Monday, October 12, because Laramie County offices will be closed to the public for an employee in-service day

The post goes on to say, "Satellite early voting and registration for all Laramie County voters is available in Burns and Albin on Saturday, Oct. 10.  The County Clerk’s election team will be at the Burns Plex, 327 S Main, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., and at the Albin Community Center, 430 5^th Ave, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
