ST. GEORGE – While mail-in ballots have grown in popularity in recent years, voters in certain counties who still prefer visiting polling locations can get an early start. Early voting started Tuesday and runs through Nov. 1. Many Utah residents have also received their mail-in ballots already.
Of Utah’s 29 counties, 21 have shifted exclusively to mail-in ballots, with Iron County joining that number this year. However, polling locations in parts of Washington County remain an option for early voting and the general election Nov. 8.
Some of Washington County’s smaller communities, such as Rockville, Leeds and others, will be voting by mail exclusively.
For those voting by mail, if you did not receive your ballot by Tuesday, it is advised that you contact the Washington County Clerk’s Office at 435-634-5712 or in person at the Washington County Administration Building at 197 E. Tabernacle St. in St. George.
As of Tuesday evening, the Lt. Governor’s Office, which oversees the elections, reported over Twitter that nearly 10 percent of Utah’s registered voters had cast in their ballots.
Dates to note
- Nov. 1 – Last day to register to vote online at voter.utah.gov or at a county clerk’s office.
- Nov. 3 – Last day to request absentee and mail-in ballots.
- Nov. 4 – Early voting ends.
- Nov. 7 – All mail-in ballots must be postmarked no later than this date.
