It’s primary Election Day in Utah: What you need to know

Tuesday is primary Election Day in Utah and here’s a look at what you need to know.

What races? There are a variety of municipal and school board elections taking place around the state this year. Not all of the elections taking place have a primary on Tuesday, due to either cities using ranked choice voting or there not being enough candidates to warrant a primary.

Multiple cities around Utah are having mayoral elections this year including Logan, Provo and St. George.

What’s new? It is too late for Utahns to send their ballots in by mail. According to HB300 passed by the state Legislature earlier this year, ballots have to be in possession of the county clerk by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

For those who haven’t mailed their ballots yet, they can still be submitted through their county’s drop boxes. There are drop box locations all around the state to find a location near you visit votesearch.utah.gov.

Voters can also cast their ballots in person at their county’s vote center. Polls will be open until 8 p.m.

For people who plan to vote in person they must provide a valid form of photo ID, such as a Utah driver license or a U.S. passport; tribal identification cards are also acceptable. If you don’t have one of those forms of identification you can also provide two other forms of identification that include your name and address.
