Requirements for Automatic Restoration of Voting Rights

Individuals who discharge from Wyoming Department of Corrections’ custody (this includes Wyoming inmates housed out-of-state) on or after January 1, 2010, and were convicted in the State of Wyoming, are not required to apply. If you qualify (i.e. first-time non-violent felony), you will receive a signed certificate from the Wyoming Department of Corrections which indicates your voting rights have been restored. This certificate will be sent to you via mail at the individual’s last known address. Since restoration of voting rights is automatic, the Secretary of State’s office and the Clerk of the District Court will be notified that your right to vote was restored. 

To ensure you receive your certificate at the correct address you are responsible for notifying the WDOC of your change in address please send a letter notifying WDOC of the change in address to:

Wyoming Department of Corrections

Attn: Field Services Administrator

1934 Wyott Dr. Suite 100

Cheyenne, WY 82002
