The 2022 Wyoming Secretary of State election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the Secretary of State of Wyoming. On April 18, 2022, incumbent Republican Edward Buchanan announced that he would run for re-election, but on May 17 he reversed this decision, choosing not to seek a second term.[1][2] State Representative Chuck Gray won the Republican nomination on August 16 with the backing of former president Donald Trump. He is a supporter of Trump's claim that he won the 2020 election. Gray was unopposed in the general election.[3][4]
