CHEYENNE, WY –The Wyoming State Canvassing Board certified the primary election results on Wednesday morning, August 29th – making what were previously unofficial results official.

The State Canvassing Board examined the results of state-level races across Wyoming and certified 117 winning candidates to be placed on the 2018 General Election Ballot. The State Canvassing Board is comprised of: Governor Matt Mead; Secretary of State Edward Buchanan (chair); State Auditor Cynthia Cloud; and State Treasurer Mark Gordon.

“The 2018 Election is only half-way over. I look forward to seeing the people of Wyoming choose from among these candidates on November 6th, 2018. Our top five elected officials, 60 state representatives, 15 state senators, a U.S. House Representative and a U.S. Senator are all on the ballot,” said Secretary of State Edward Buchanan.

The candidates certified by the State Canvassing Board included write-in candidates for several offices. These candidates must either accept or reject their party’s nomination to be included on the general election ballot. These write-in candidates are Democratic candidates for State Treasurer (Chris Lowry), State Superintendent of Public Instruction (Mike Massie), House District 54 (Mark Calhoun), and a Republican candidate for House District 23 (Alexander Muromcew).

I encourage you to vote again during the general election.”
