Unofficial Glendo Election Results

The May municipal election for the Town of Glendo was conducted today by the Platte County Clerk's Office. Here are the unofficial results from today's election.

The County Clerk's office will conduct a recount of the results at the County Courthouse on Wednesday, May 6th at 10:00 AM. The results will be canvassed by the Town of Glendo on Wednesday, May 6th at 3:00 PM at Glendo Town Hall. The public is welcome to attend both of these.

Although these results are unofficial, it appears as though Jeston Cundall received enough votes to be elected as Mayor of Glendo. Brenda Hagen and Keith Micke appear to have received enough votes to be elected as Council Members. These results are subject to certification by the Town of Glendo's canvass board on Wednesday.

A message from Treasurer Kristi Rietz: Wyoming statute 31-2-213(b) requires that license plate designs be updated every eight years. As a reminder, please ensure that all your Wyoming-registered vehicles—including trailers, motorcycles, and ATVs—are equipped with the updated license plates displaying a 2026 expiration date. The new standard plate design features a distinctive dark blue background inspired by the Wyoming state flag. University of Wyoming alumni plates are also updated and must be displayed in 2026. Those plates feature a white background and gold mountain range.

If your standard (not alumni) truck, or passenger, license plate number is less than 5,000 (and you have not yet renewed to the new style of plate), those plate numbers have been reserved. If you renew those plates prior to January 2nd, you will retain your same license plate number. If your plate number is less than 5,000 and you have already been issued a new series of dark blue plates, you will have that plate number until 2033. However, beginning January 2, 2026, any unclaimed plates will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Treasurer's Office is open today (Friday, December 26th) until 5:00 PM. They will be closed on Thursday, January 1st in observance of New Year's Day. If you have any questions regarding vehicle registration please contact the Treasurer's Office or visit www.plattecountywyoming.com.
