What is the constitutional limitation on terms of office of the five state elected officials?

• A. State officials may serve unlimited terms.
• B. State officials can serve only one term.
• C. State officials can serve four terms.
• D. State officials can serve only two terms.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that Wyoming’s constitution sets a hard cap on how long someone can hold a statewide elective office. For the five statewide offices—the Governor and the four constitutional officers (Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, and Attorney General)—a person may serve no more than two terms in that same office. After completing two terms, they must step down from that office. This is why two terms is the correct limit. The other options ignore or misstate this cap: unlimited terms would ignore the constitution, one term is too few, and four terms is longer than the limit.
