What are the qualifications required to become Governor?

• A. Must be a citizen of the United States, a qualified elector of the state, 30 years old, and a resident for five years preceding election.
• B. Must be a citizen of the United States, but no residency requirement.
• C. Must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, and 35 years old.
• D. Must be a resident of the state for ten years and a high-level qualification.

Answer: (A)

Wyoming sets four basic qualifications for the governor: you must be a citizen of the United States, you must be a resident of Wyoming for at least five years immediately before the election, you must be at least thirty years old, and you must be a qualified elector of the state (eligible to vote). The choice that includes all four elements is the best answer because it directly reflects these constitutional requirements. The other options fail because one omits residency, another requires a natural-born citizen (not a requirement for Wyoming’s governor), and the last adds a ten-year residency or vague “high-level” qualification that isn’t part of the official criteria.
