Give the qualification of a state representative.

• A. Must be 25 years old, a citizen of the United States and Wyoming, and must have lived for at least 12 months preceding his/her election in the county or district from which he/she is chosen.
• B. Must be 21 years old, a citizen of the United States and Wyoming, and must have lived for at least 12 months preceding his/her election in the county or district from which he/she is chosen.
• C. Must be 18 years old and a citizen of the United States.
• D. Must be 23 years old, and reside in Wyoming for 6 months.

Answer: (B)

In Wyoming, the qualification to serve as a state representative focuses on age, citizenship, and district residency. You must be at least 21 years old, be a citizen of the United States and of Wyoming, and have lived in the district from which you’re elected for at least 12 months prior to the election. This combination is what the correct option reflects.

An 18-year-old is not eligible because the age minimum is 21. The 25-year criterion belongs to the Senate, not the House. And residency must be 12 months in the district, not just 6 months, to ensure a solid connection to the district.
