Are you ready to vote in the Nov. 3 general election?
In Utah, all counties are on a vote-by-mail system. Beginning on October 13, ballots were mailed to all active, registered voters. Included with your ballot should be a postage-paid return envelope and your
“I Voted” sticker. Who doesn’t love a sticker?
Due to COVID-19, the Salt Lake County Clerk Election Division is encouraging voters who receive a by-mail ballot to use it — fill it out and return is as quickly as possible. If you plan to vote in-person, you’ll be asked to keep the 6-feet social distance rule and wear a mask.
Here’s a quick guide to some things voters need to know:
Can I still register to vote?
The deadline to register to vote and be mailed a ballot is Friday, Oct. 23, at 5 p.m. If you still need to register online or in-person on Election Day, you can get more information here: https://slco.org/clerk/elections/voter-registration/voter-registration-information/
What if I don’t get my ballot in the mail?
If you don’t get your ballot or you lose it, call the Clerk’s Office at 385-468-7400 or email got-vote@slco.org.
What if I moved since the last election?
If you are already registered, but have moved within Salt Lake County, you can call 385-468-7400 or email got-vote@slco.org with your name, registration address and new address.
Do I need any identification to vote in person?
A valid ID is required. A list of the documents you can use for verification is here: https://slco.org/clerk/elections/voting-in-person/valid-identification-for-salt-lake-county-elections/
What if I live with a disability and need help?
