Zero statewide ballot measures were certified for the ballot in Wyoming on November 6, 2018.

As of 2018, Wyoming allowed citizen initiatives in the form of initiated state statutes and veto referendums. Wyoming petition signature requirements are determined by calculating 15 percent of votes cast in the state's most recent general election. For the 2018 ballot, initiative supporters had to gather 38,818 valid signatures for both referendums and statutes by February 9, 2018, in order to qualify for the ballot.

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. The 2018 legislative session ran from February 12, 2018, to March 15, 2018.
