When a vacancy occurs in the Wyoming Legislature, new members are appointed to fill the resultant vacancy. As per Wyoming law, in the case of a legislative vacancy, the political party which the previous incumbent identified with upon assuming office is contacted. The party is to produce a list of three candidates.[1] The board or boards of county commissioners of the legislative district then vote to appoint a member to fill the vacancy from the list. If the previous incumbent identified with no party, any qualified individual in the district is able to apply to seek appointment. The appointee serves the remainder of the previous incumbent's term, until the next general election.[2]
