If you're voting by mail for candidates or election issues, Monday is the deadline to have your ballot postmarked. If you miss the letter carrier, you can turn your ballot in in person Tuesday or cast your ballot that day at consolidated voting places.
The Salt Lake County Clerk's Office in early October mailed 402,200 ballots to residents living in 14 of the county's 16 cities (but not Taylorsville or West Valley City) where municipal elections are being held, and to unincorporated-area residents who are participating in Community Preservation votes.
Residents countywide also are voting on Proposition One, a proposal to increase sales taxes by a quarter-cent to boost funding for local transportation and transit projects.
As of 5 p.m. Friday, County Clerk Sherrie Swensen said 115,000, or 28.6 percent, of the ballots sent countywide had been returned.
In Salt Lake City, where there is high interest in the mayoral race between two-term incumbent Ralph Becker and challenger Jackie Biskupski, 35 percent (or 25,570) of the 73,000 ballots were sent back.
While traditional polling places will not be open on Tuesday, the formal Election Day, the County Clerk's Office has set up voting centers where residents may register, vote or turn in ballots from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
A complete listing of all 27 sites in Salt Lake County is available at https://www.slco.org/clerk/elections/voter-info-look-up.
The website also includes a list of secure drop boxes where people can submit their ballots between now and then.
