Election Day

Today is the General Election in Wyoming with polls open from 7 am to 7 pm. There are two local ballot measures this year as Sheridan County voters will decide whether to continue the two percent county wide lodging tax that is paid by non local guests staying in Sheridan County and the fifth penny sales tax that is a general-purpose sales and use tax that adds a single cent to every dollar of taxable retail sales in Sheridan County. Sheridan Mayor Rich Bridger.

A statewide ballot measure is Proposition 1, the Homeowner’s Primary Residence Property Tax Exemption. Voters in Wyoming will be choosing to support or oppose the creation of a homeowner’s property tax exemption that exempts 50 percent of a primary residence’s assessed value from property taxation.
