County officials-nonpartisan elections.
HB 236 makes specific county elected offices nonpartisan in Wyoming, directly affecting voters and candidates for positions like county clerk, treasurer, assessor, coroner, sheriff, and district attorney. The bill requires these offices to be nominated and elected through nonpartisan primaries (instead of partisan primaries), standardizes their ballot order, and modifies vacancy procedures. It amends existing statutes to clarify that these roles must be nonpartisan and specifies that candidates for these offices will appear together on ballots without party labels. The law applies to all counties, changing how these local officials are elected and listed on ballots.
