The2026Wyoming Senate election will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect members of theWyoming Legislature for the 69th Wyoming Legislature.[1] Partisan primaries will held on August 18, 2026.[2] Part of the2026 United States elections, the election will be held alongside races forstate house of representatives,U.S. House, andU.S. Senate.
Both primary and general elections in the state use aplurality voting system to select candidates. Also known asfirst-past-the-post, a candidate only needs to win the most votes out of any candidate and does not need to attain an outright majority. Wyoming utilizesclosed primaries, in which voters must be registered members of a political party to participate in a primary election. Voters have until 96 days before the primary to do so.[3] Some Republican legislators have introduced a bill to createrunoff elections for primaries,[4] but has not succeeded.
