With Election Day in Utah just a week away, residents have several options for returning their completed ballots to county clerks for counting. Voting by mail through the U.S. Postal Service is one option, with ballots requiring a postmark by Nov. 4 to be counted. Alternatively, voters can drop their ballots in designated drop boxes or at early voting locations. Salt Lake County Clerk Lannie Chapman emphasized that voters can choose any method they prefer, with the county offering 28 drop box locations that are open 24/7 until election night.
Utah County Clerk Aaron Davidson recommends waiting until Election Day to cast a ballot to take advantage of all available information. Early voting is available at a single location in downtown Provo, with 13 polling places throughout the county on Election Day. Davidson prefers drop boxes over mailing ballots due to concerns about chain of custody and the possibility of tampering. Utah County has 28 drop box locations available for voters to return their completed ballots.
The goal for both counties is to ensure that all residents have the ability to participate in the election, regardless of their voting method. Whether casting their vote by mail, dropping it off in a box, or waiting until Election Day to vote in person, the importance is on ensuring that every ballot is counted and that the election process is secure and accessible to all.
