Laramie
County offers a PAPER OR PLASTIC option for voting.
Each
polling place will be equipped with both the optical
scan ballots (PAPER) used since 1994 and electronic
touchscreens (PLASTIC). The touchscreens were
mandated by the federal government to meet the
Americans with Disabilities Act requirements,
however, anyone can
use them. Of course, voters will be allowed to
vote on only ONE of these types of voting machines.
For
an interactive demonstration of the touchscreens,

By
statute, elections can occur in Laramie County
on three principal dates each year. These include
the months of May, August, and November.
During even numbered years, both an August Primary
Election and a November General Election are held.
These are considered "Federal" election dates
as candidates for United States Representative
appear on these ballots.
Odd numbered year elections are generally held
at the request of the Board of Commissioners by
resolution.

Street, you would type in only 123.
