    The Wyoming State Senate is the upper chamber of the Wyoming State Legislature. Alongside the Wyoming House of Representatives, it forms the legislative branch of the Wyoming state government and works alongside the governor of Wyoming to create laws and establish a state budget. Legislative authority and responsibilities of the Wyoming State Senate include passing bills on public policy matters, setting levels for state spending, raising and lowering taxes, and voting to uphold or override gubernatorial vetoes.

    The Wyoming State Senate meets in the state capitol building in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

    On March 25, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) allowed the state’s legislative maps to become law without signing the redistricting bill approved by the legislature. The legislature approved Wyoming HB100 on March 11. The bill adds one Senate seat and two House of Representatives seats to the state legislature. The Senate passed legislative redistricting plans, voting 20-10 to approve an amended version of the Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Interim Committee's proposal.[2] The House rejected maps approved by the Senate in a 46-11 vote on March 8. Legislative leaders formed a committee of three representatives and three senators to resolve disputes over the proposals.[3] On March 11, the House passed the maps in a 44-12 vote, and the Senate passed the maps in a 17-12 vote.[4]

The senators elected at the first election shall be divided by lot into two classes as nearly equal as may be. The seats of senators of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the first two years, and of the second class at the expiration of four years. No person shall be a senator who has not attained the age of twenty-five years, or a representative who has not attained the age of twenty-one years, and who is not a citizen of the United States and of this state and who has not, for at least twelve months next preceding his election resided within the county or district in which he was elected."

    Historical party control[edit]

    Between 1992 and 2020, partisan control of the Wyoming State Senate shifted in favor of the Republican Party. The table below shows the partisan history of the Wyoming State Senate following every general election from 1992 to 2020. All data from 2006 or earlier comes from Michael Dubin's Party Affiliations in the State Legislatures (McFarland Press, 2007). Data after 2006 was compiled by Ballotpedia staff.

    Wyoming State Senate Party Control: 1992-2020

    After the 1992 elections, Republicans held a 20-10 majority in the state Senate. The Republican majority gradually expanded until, after the 2020 elections, Republicans had a 28-2 majority. Republicans gained three seats in 2004 and 2010. The only election in which Democrats gained seats was in 1998, when they picked up one seat.

    Trifecta history[edit]

    A state government trifecta is a term that describes single party government, when one political party holds the governor's office and has majorities in both chambers of the legislature in a state government.

    Between 1992 and 2021, Wyoming was under the following types of trifecta control:

    • Democratic trifecta: None
    • Republican trifecta: 1995-2002, 2011-2021
    • Divided government: 1992-1994, 2003-2010

    Redistricting[edit]

    See also: Redistricting in Wyoming

    Wyoming is home to one at-large congressional district, making congressional redistricting unnecessary. State legislative district lines are drawn by the state legislature. State legislative district plans are subject to veto by the governor.[15]

    In 2011, a joint legislative committee adopted the following guidelines for state legislative redistricting:[15]

    1. Districts should be contiguous and compact.
    2. Districts should "reflect a community of interest."
    3. Districts should "consider significant geographic features."
    4. "A majority of the population of each county" should reside within a single district.
    5. "Consideration should be given to nesting two House districts in each state Senate district."

    2020[edit]

    On March 25, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) allowed the state’s legislative maps to become law without signing the redistricting bill approved by the legislature. The legislature approved Wyoming HB100 on March 11. The bill adds one Senate seat and two House of Representatives seats to the state legislature. The Senate passed legislative redistricting plans, voting 20-10 to approve an amended version of the Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Interim Committee's proposal.[16] The House rejected maps approved by the Senate in a 46-11 vote on March 8. Legislative leaders formed a committee of three representatives and three senators to resolve disputes over the proposals.[17] On March 11, the House passed the maps in a 44-12 vote, and the Senate passed the maps in a 17-12 vote.[18]

    2010[edit]

    See also: Redistricting in Wyoming after the 2010 census

    According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Wyoming's population increased from just under 494,000 to over 563,000 from 2000 to 2010.[19] This increase of 14.5 percent was higher than the national average, but Wyoming still had less people than the average size for one Congressional district.[20]

    The Joint Interim Committee on Corporations, Elections, and Political Subdivisions decided to keep single-member districts and the current configuration of 30 members in the Senate and 60 members in the House. Only 34 of the 90 old House and Senate districts were within the accepted five percent margin of error from the ideal population, suggesting that many districts would have to be reshuffled.[21] After having public hearings, the Committee adopted a complete map in December of 2011, and gave it final approval in January of 2012. The Senate and the House both passed the final map by wide margins (28-2 in the Senate and 51-8 in the House) and Governor Matt Mead (R) signed the map into law on March 6, 2012.[22][23]

    About legislative sessions in Wyoming[edit]

    The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution declares that any power not already given to the federal government is reserved to the states and the people.[30] State governments across the country use this authority to hold legislative sessions where a state's elected representatives meet for a period of time to draft and vote on legislation and set state policies on issues such as taxation, education, and government spending. The different types of legislation passed by a legislature may include resolutions, legislatively referred constitutional amendments, and bills that become law.

    Article III of the Wyoming Constitution establishes when the Wyoming State Legislature, of which the Senate is a part, is to be in session. Sections 6 and 7 of Article III contain the relevant provisions. The Legislature is to convene in regular session for no more than sixty legislative working days every two years, and no more than forty legislative days in any year. In odd-numbered years, the Legislature meets for a general and budget session, beginning on the second Tuesday of January. In even-numbered years, the Legislature meets for a session devoted to budgetary matters.

    Section 7 of Article III contains the provisions for convening special sessions of the Legislature. Special sessions can be convened by the proclamation of the Governor of Wyoming, or the Legislature can convene a special session of up to twenty legislative days if the session is requested by a majority of the members of each legislative house.

    Legislative roles and procedures[edit]

    Every state legislature throughout the country features its own internal procedures that it uses to govern itself and how it interacts with other parts of state government. Ballotpedia's coverage of internal state legislative procedures includes veto overrides, the role of the legislature in the state budget, and procedures for filling membership vacancies.

    Veto overrides[edit]

    Veto Override Graphic-Republican Party.png

    See also: Veto overrides in state legislatures

    State legislatures can override governors' vetoes. Depending on the state, this can be done during the regular legislative session, in a special session following the adjournment of the regular session, or during the next legislative session. The rules for legislative overrides of gubernatorial vetoes in Wyoming are listed below.

    How many legislators are required to vote for an override? Two-thirds of members in both chambers.

    Two-thirds of members in both chambers must vote to override a veto, which is 40 of the 60 members in the Wyoming House of Representatives and 20 of the 30 members in the Wyoming State Senate. Wyoming is one of 36 states that requires a two-thirds vote from both of its legislative chambers to override a veto.

    Authority: Article 4, Section 8 of the Wyoming Constitution.

    "Every bill which has passed the legislature shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the governor. If he approve, he shall sign it; but if not, he shall return it with his objections to the house in which it originated, which shall enter the objections at large upon the journal and proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the members elected agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if it be approved by two-thirds of the members elected, it shall become a law; but in all such cases the vote of both houses shall be determined by the yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting for and against the bill shall be entered upon the journal of each house respectively."

    The state operates on a biennial budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:[31]

    1. Budget instructions are sent to state agencies in June.
    2. State agencies submit their budget requests in August.
    3. Agency hearings are held September through November.
    4. The governor submits his or her proposed budget to the Wyoming State Legislature by December 1.
    5. The Wyoming State Legislature adopts a budget in March. A simple majority is required to pass a budget.
    6. The biennial budget cycle begins in July.


    Wyoming is one of 44 states in which the governor has line item veto authority.[31]

    In Wyoming, the governor is constitutionally required to submit a balanced budget. In addition, the legislature is constitutionally required to pass a balanced budget.[31]

    Committees[edit]

    See also: List of committees in Wyoming state government

    Every state legislature and state legislative chamber in the country contains several legislative committees. These committees are responsible for studying, amending, and voting on legislation before it reaches the floor of a chamber for a full vote. The different types of committees include standing committees, select or special, and joint.

    • Standing committees are generally permanent committees, the names of which sometimes change from session to session.
    • Select or special committees are temporary committees formed to deal with specific issues such as recent legislation, major public policy or proposals, or investigations.
    • Joint committees are committees that feature members of both chambers of a legislature.

    Ballotpedia covers standing and joint committees. The Wyoming State Senate has 12 standing committees:


    Constitutional amendments[edit]

    In every state but Delaware, voter approval is required to enact a constitutional amendment. In each state, the legislature has a process for referring constitutional amendments before voters. In 18 states, initiated constitutional amendments can be put on the ballot through a signature petition drive. There are also many other types of statewide measures.

    The methods in which the Wyoming Constitution can be amended:

    See also: Article 20 of the Wyoming Constitution and Laws governing ballot measures in Wyoming

    Article 20 of the Wyoming Constitution defines the two ways it can be amended.

    • Either branch of the Wyoming State Legislature can propose amendments.
    • Regardless of where the amendment originated, two-thirds of all the members of each of the two houses, voting separately, have to agree to put it on the ballot for a vote of the state's electors.
    • Any proposed amendments that receive a two-thirds (66.67 percent) supermajority vote of both chambers are to go on the ballot at the next general election.
    • The proposed amendment must be published for at least 12 consecutive weeks, prior to a vote being held on it "in at least one newspaper of general circulation."
    • To be enacted, the amendment must be approved by a majority of the electors.
    • If more than one amendment is proposed, they are to be voted on separately.
    • A convention can be called if a two-thirds (66.67 percent) supermajority vote in both houses of the legislature agree to put a constitutional convention question on the state's next general election ballot.
    • A majority of those voting must approve the call for a convention.
    • If they do, the legislature is required to organize that convention in its next session.
    • Article 20 does not specify how many delegates a convention must have, except to say that the number of delegates must be "not less than double that of the most numerous branch of the legislature."
    • Any constitutional changes recommended by a duly-called constitutional convention don't go into effect unless and until they are approved in a statewide vote of the people.


    Historical context:

    • Between 2000 and 2020, 20 measures appeared on the ballot in Wyoming.
