Lt. Governor cautions that long lines may cause delays in Utah’s election night results • Report from Utah News Dispatch

Election Day has arrived and Utah voters have until 8 p.m. to cast their ballots in a variety of races, including the deadlocked presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Results may take days to finalize, with the possibility of delays in state and local races. Utah’s top election official, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, has urged voters to return their ballots as soon as possible to ensure robust initial results. Same-day voter registration is also available for those who have not yet registered.
In Utah, Republicans make up the majority of active registered voters, with key races to watch including the presidency, governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, attorney general, auditor, and treasurer. Independent candidates are making waves in legislative races, potentially causing upsets in the traditionally Republican-controlled Utah Legislature. Voters are encouraged to visit the state’s election website for information on polling locations and drop box locations for ballot return.
For those still deciding, the Utah News Dispatch’s 2024 voter guide provides statements from statewide candidates to help inform final-hour decisions. As the nation awaits the outcome of the election, Utahns are reminded to participate in the democratic process and make their voices heard before polls close.
