Utah will be conducting its election entirely by mail; as such, every voter should be aware of all important ballot deadlines and requirements, as well as how and where to return a ballot in person.
To avoid possible postal delays impacting your vote, we recommend mailing your completed ballot back by Tuesday, October 13th. Plan to drop it off by hand after that.
If you are concerned about your absentee ballot returning on time through the mail, visit our other page to learn how to drop your ballot off in person.
Note: Individuals must vote by provisional ballot if they: (i) register online or in person between October 20 and October 27, 2020, (ii) register during early voting, or (iii) register on November 3, 2020.
Registering In Person: October 27, 2020 in clerk's office, but may also register during early vote and on November 3, 2020.
