The U.S. Department of Justice is sending election monitors to Utah for the upcoming November midterm election, according to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson.

In a Threads post Thursday morning, Henderson said she had been notified that federal monitors were coming to Utah but she didn’t know how many to expect or where they would be stationed.

“They’ll not be wearing badges or insignia identifying them to voters,” Henderson said. “They’ll identify themselves to the poll workers so our folks will know they’re there.”

Henderson said the monitors won’t approach voters, speak to them or interfere with the voting process in any way. They also won’t be armed.

The monitors will have to follow Utah’s rules for poll watchers, Henderson said.

Under state law, poll watchers can observe voters, ballot processing, signature verification and the setup and takedown of polling places. But they cannot record anything that could reveal how someone voted or violate their privacy.

The move comes after the Justice Department demanded states hand over their voter rolls to prevent potential fraud.

After Henderson refused to hand over Utah’s full, unredacted voter database, the department said it was investigating her.

Erin Covey, house editor at the Cook Political Report, says the nonpartisan poll tracker has found election integrity to be a bipartisan concern.

But that concern is “expressed in different ways,” she said.

“Republicans are concerned about the potential for fraud, with mail-in voting, Democrats are concerned more about voter suppression,” Covey said.
