1992 Wyoming Senate election


The 1992 Wyoming Senate election was held on November 3, 1992, to elect members to the Wyoming Senate for its 52nd session as part of the 1992 United States elections. Partisan primaries were held on August 18. This was the first state senate election held after the state's county-based apportionment plan was struck down by the courts in Gorin v. Karpan in favor of a single-member district plan. As a result, every senator was up for re-election.
The election was held concurrently with elections for the state house, U.S. representative, and U.S. president.
