Election of representatives by county.
Wyoming's SF 114 establishes a new election process for state representatives, requiring voters to select entire candidate lists from political parties rather than individual candidates. The bill specifies that parties must nominate lists (matching the number of seats per district) through primary elections (where vote totals order candidates) or other methods like conventions, with all lists certified to the secretary of state. Elected representatives are apportioned to lists based on total votes using a mathematical formula, and the bill explicitly prohibits ranked-choice voting in all elections. This directly affects how candidates are nominated, how votes are counted, and which voting systems are permitted for state representative races.
