Albany County commissioners approve limited closure of Clerk's Office on primary election day
Summary
The board voted Aug. 3 to close the Albany County Clerk's Office to routine business on Aug. 18, 2026, while keeping staff available to record real estate documents as required by Wyoming statute Title 22-2-112.
The Albany County Commissioners voted Aug. 3 to close the Albany County Clerk's Office to routine business on primary election day, Aug. 18, 2026, while ensuring staff remain available to record real estate documents required by Wyoming statute. The motion to approve the limited closure passed by voice vote.
The Clerk, speaking to the board, framed the request as a staffing and service continuity item: "This is just a request to have my office closed except for the recording of documents for election day." She explained that staff who process titles and record documents typically time-date materials dropped off and, when necessary, staff covering the courthouse would timestamp and file them later. The chair read the item into the record referencing the statutory exception: recording of real estate documents would continue "pursuant to Wyoming statute Title 22-2-112."
A commissioner moved to approve the closure and the motion was seconded; the board approved the action by voice vote with commissioners answering "Aye." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally by name for this motion. The board will maintain real-estate recording services on Aug. 18 while other routine Clerk's Office services will be paused.
