What to do now
Make sure you’re registered to vote
Utah mails a ballot to every voter with an active registration. Your registration can go inactive if you skip voting in two general elections in a row. Check your registration to see whether yours is active. Your county clerk mails ballots the week of October 13.

Put it in a drop box, mail it by Saturday, October 24, or vote early in person starting October 20. A mailed ballot must reach your county clerk by 8pm on election day, and a postmark no longer counts. Your county sets early voting locations and hours, and some sites open later.
Early voting October 20–30 (your county may change these dates)
Register by October 23, 5pm, to get a mail-in ballot
After October 24, use a drop box or vote early

Your county clerk must have possession of your ballot by 8pm on election day. The mail-in ballot’s postmark no longer matters. Drop boxes stay open until 8pm on election day. Early voting ends Friday, October 30, unless your county changes its dates. Your county clerk sets the locations and hours for both, so check them before you go. Not registered? Register and vote at an early voting location.
Ask for a replacement ballot by October 27, 5pm

It’s too late to mail your ballot. Drop boxes and vote centers close at 8pm. If you’re in line by 8pm, stay in line. Utah law lets you vote, or drop off your ballot, if you’re in line by 8pm. Not registered yet? Register at a vote center today and vote on the same visit. Bring two forms of ID: one that shows who you are, and one that shows where you live.

If your signature doesn’t match, or you forgot to sign your envelope, your county clerk will contact you within two business days. Each county sets its own deadline for fixing it, so only your clerk knows yours. Answer the same day you hear from them. Track your ballot to check its status.
