Wyoming voter registration cards list the qualified parties, and also give voters a chance to register as independents. But the forms do not permit anyone to register into a party that has gone off the ballot. Surprisingly, though, registration in Americans Elect and the Country Party have both risen since November 2012. Both parties were removed from the ballot and from voter registration forms after that election was over. The parties were removed for failing the vote test, which required them to poll 2% for U.S. House.

In November 2012, Americans Elect only had 9 registrants in the state, and the Country Party only had 21. But in the June 10, 2013 registration tally, Americans Elect has 41 registrants and the Country Party has 66. Voters registering into these parties are obviously using voter registration cards that were printed last year and which still list those parties. This information was gathered by contacting each county elections office, because the Secretary of State’s web page registration data lumps the two parties into an “other” column. There are also a tiny number of Wyoming voters still registered in the Reform Party and the Natural Law Party, parties which haven’t been qualified for a decade.
