The Wyoming Legislature has the power to place constitutional amendments on the ballot when a two-thirds majority of members in each house of the legislature approves the amendment. Once on the ballot, the amendment must be approved by a simple majority of the electors. The Wyoming 2017 legislative session ran from January 10, 2017, to March 6, 2017.
