The county clerk's office has placed by-mail voter-registration forms in locations across the county, including post offices, libraries and most grocery stores.

Those who wish to vote at an early voting location must be registered by this deadline, which is 10 days earlier than previous years because of a new law. County residents who are already registered do not need to re-register unless they have moved since they last voted. After next week's deadline, anyone who still needs to register must appear in person at the clerk's office.

For further information regarding voter registration, contact the Salt Lake County clerk's elections division at 468-3427. Forms also are available online at www.clerk.slco.org.
