4 Ways to Register to Vote
1. Provided you live in Teton County, Wyoming, and meet basic eligibility requirements, you can register to vote by simply showing valid ID at the Teton County Clerk's Office at least 14 days prior to either election. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
2. Voters can still register at the Clerk's Office after the 14-day cutoff – up until the day before the election – but you must also place your vote via absentee ballot at that time.
3. If you're out of town, you can also register to vote by mailing the office a completed voter registration form.
4. As a last resort, you could even register and vote on election day at one of the five designated polling places in Teton County (listed below), so there's no excuse!
Note: You'll need to be a registered Democrat to vote for Luther Propst in the August 21 primary, but don't fret – you can change your party at the time of voting, and are free to change it back in the future.
