The Civic Age

Civic Duty is a burden.

Is the value of that burden,

currently,

understood?


In a nutshell,

the

Civic Age

is when the

electorate

speaks

with

authority & will.


How do we create the opportunities, to identify consensus priorities, while maintaining the ability to change as circumstance or need dictates?
Encourage those motivated to develop & share priorities.
Support or oppose identified/revised priorities.
Ask others to, consider, supporting or opposing identified/revised priorities.
Keep as many people, as possible, in the "loop".
This is a workflow that leads to the greatest degree of consensus for the electorate concerning civic priorities.


Fiscal

literacy, inspection, & analysis,

pertaining to public funds,

is essential

for civic discourse

and giving

informed consent.


Fiscal Education Is Civic Education.

The minimum outcome of public education

must be the ability for a citizen

to participate as a

informed member of the

citizenry/electorate.

Concerning Civic Consensus Priorities

Suggestions

Priority: Fiscal audit

before

more taxation.


Objective: Public access to

the systematic data

necessary to conduct

an ongoing audit

of the

taxpayers' "checkbook".

Deadlines

Ideally

Before May 13, 2026, each precinct's electorate needs to identify their consensus priorities and nominate replacement candidates for public offices. By May 29, 2026 5PM, the electorate's candidates need to file. Between May 13, 2026 & May 29, 2026 5PM it is in the electorate's best interest to resolve multiple candidates to a single choice.

In Wyoming, the Primary Election decided most of the General Election results. Absentee voting for the Primary Election - UOCAVA starts July 2nd. Don't forget to keep our active military citizens in the "loop".

Questions

Can Wyoming's Electorate publish their identified, consensus proven, civic priorities before July 2nd?

Can Wyoming's electorates for precincts, tax entities/districts, counties, legislative districts, judicial districts, and the state decide by July 2nd who will best represent us based on published, consensus proven, priorities?

Below are ideas and tools for assisting constituents with forming consensuses.

Design Templates w/ Examples

Regarding precincts, the immediate value of forming consensuses is identifying priorities for each of the Elected Offices/Races. Then, in concert with other precincts, tracking the current Electeds progress concerning those priorities, and vetting candidates, for the upcoming elections, to conclude whether a change in representation is necessary.
