Also on the ballot is Proposed Constitutional Amendment A:
The adoption of this amendment would allow the governor to appoint non-residents of the state to serve as University of Wyoming trustees.

All appointments to the board of trustees are with the advice and consent of the Wyoming Senate. Vote will be FOR or AGAINST. A non-vote is the same as voting AGAINST the proposal.
