Your state has automatic vote by mail– if you're a registered voter, you'll receive a ballot in the mail whenever there's an election.
Utah is a vote-by-mail state. As long as your state issued ID or registration form lists your current address you will receive a ballot. If you have moved or are new to Utah, please update your information by registering to vote by Oct. 23rd.
Missed the registration deadline? No problem, you can register in-person during early voting.
Vote-by-mail systems are different in every state. It is critical that you follow directions and pay attention to the details, or your ballot could be challenged or even tossed.
The signature on your ballot must match your DMV signature, or signature that is on file with your voter registration if you do not have a state-issued ID. If your signature does not match, your ballot could be tossed.
Here are some important things to know about voting by mail in Utah:
Don't forget to put postage on your ballot. You are responsible for adding stamps.
Your state has a "postmark" deadline of Monday, November 2nd. To make the mandated postmark date, put the ballot into your home mailbox for collection at least one day prior to ensure it is picked up and processed. You can also drop the ballot off at the post office before the last posted collection time for the postmark deadline. You may also return your ballot via a delivery service, like FedEx or UPS, to ensure delivery date.
You can return your ballot in person to your municipal clerk, county election office, or at a secure dropbox location by 8 pm on Election Day. Click here to find drop box locations.
Your state gives you the opportunity to "cure" any challenge to your ballot. This means if there is something wrong with the signature on your ballot, the state is required to contact you and give you options to remedy your ballot. Your clerk will provide step-by-step instructions for curing your ballot. Be sure to check your mail and messages (phone and email) for incoming communication from your election's office to have the opportunity to cure. You must "cure" your ballot before your official county canvass, which will take place between seven and 14 days after Election Day.
Your state offers electronic, barcode ballot tracking services so you can make sure your ballot gets counted. Click here to access.
