Voting by mail is the most popular option, with 90 percent of ballots cast by mail in 2018, according to the lieutenant governor’s director of elections.

Utah has “all-mail elections,” meaning that every registered voter receives a ballot in the mail. Voters have the choice of casting that ballot by mail, placing the ballot in a drop box, or going to a polling location in person. Drop box and polling locations are available by entering your address in the “How and where can I vote?” section of vote.utah.gov.

🗳 You don’t need a stamp to mail your ballot, the Postal Service will still deliver your ballot to your county clerk’s office.

⭐️ For the primary election, your ballot must be mailed in and postmarked by the U.S. Postal Office by June 24, or dropped off at a dropbox before 8:00 pm on Election Day, June 25, 2024. For the general election, your ballot must be mailed in and postmarked by the U.S. Postal Office by November 4, or dropped off at a dropbox before 8:00 pm on Election Day, November 5, 2024. Find drop box locations near you.

⚠️ What if your signature on your ballot envelope doesn’t match?
Your county election officials will compare the signature on your ballot envelope with the signature on your previous ballots and your voter registration form. If your signature does not match, your county clerk will notify you. You will be given an opportunity to submit an affidavit called a “cure letter” that allows you to affirm that your signature is correct. Once your county election official receives your affidavit, the ballot will be counted.

Absentee voting is most often used by deployed military members, students studying abroad, and those serving LDS missions. However, anyone who is registered to vote in Utah may vote by absentee ballot.

Absentee ballots can be requested online. Your absentee voting application must be received by your county clerk’s office no later than 5:00 pm 11 calendar days before the election.

Early voting allows Utah residents to cast ballots in person prior to an election. The early voting period runs from 14 days prior to the election and ends 4 days before the election, but dates and hours may vary based on where you live. Check your local County Clerk’s website for more info.

Voters can also find their polling location, with the date and times polls will be open, at vote.utah.gov.
