Tomorrow is Election Day. If you haven’t voted yet, you’re running out of time.
So far, the vast majority of Utahns who have already voted have been utilizing the statewide vote-by-mail system, which automatically sends registered voters a ballot in their mailbox. However, if you haven’t yet returned your ballot, be aware that an important deadline is today.
Utah law requires ballots sent through the mail to be postmarked no later than the day before Election Day, Monday. That means you can still technically mail your ballot, but to avoid the risk of possible mail delays, state deputy elections director Shelly Jackson urged voters to take extra care to ensure their votes get counted.
