Wyoming § 22-23-307

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 22: Elections
• Ch. 23: MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
• Art. 3: NOMINATIONS

Text

(a) The candidates equal to twice the number to be elected
to each office who receive the highest number of votes are
nominated to run for the office at the next general election and
shall be issued a certificate of nomination by the county clerk.
A write-in candidate shall not be nominated and shall not be
entitled to have his name printed on the ballot for the next
general election unless he received at least three (3) votes.
(b) The chief election officer shall notify a write-in
candidate who has been nominated for election within forty-eight
(48) hours after the canvassing board meets. Notification may
be made by United States postal service, any generally accepted
business document delivery method evidenced by receipt of
delivery or attempted delivery at the last known address of the
write-in candidate or service as provided under the Wyoming
Rules of Civil Procedure. Failure of the successful write-in
candidate to accept the nomination within five (5) days after
delivery, attempted delivery or service under the Wyoming Rules
of Civil Procedure, as computed pursuant to W.S. 22-2-110,
results in the successful write-in candidate not appearing on
the general election ballot, and results in a vacancy which can
be filled as provided in W.S. 22-23-308. Each notification
provided under this section shall inform the write-in candidate
that failure to timely respond will result in forfeiture of
nomination.
