Today’s the day! Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. as Utah voters decide on who will represent them in offices everywhere from their local county government to Washington, D.C.
More than 1.7 million Utahns are registered to vote, according to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson’s office.
Henderson, who oversees statewide elections, said about a third of voters had cast ballots as of Monday morning, with turnout ranging from 18% in San Juan County to more than 45% in Rich and Grand counties.
Three members of Utah’s House delegation are up for reelection, as U.S. Reps. Blake Moore, Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy look to win again in newly drawn congressional districts. U.S. Rep. Burgess Owens, who currently represents the state’s 4th Congressional District, is retiring, while former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams is running again in the new 1st Congressional District.
Utahns also will vote for members of the state Legislature, two proposed congressional amendments, county councils, school boards and whether to retain judges.

In past elections, ballots postmarked on or by Election Day would be counted. But a change to Utah’s election laws now requires filled-out ballots to be in the hands of election officials or in an official drop box by 8 p.m. on election night to be counted.
That means it’s far too late to mail your ballot, but there are still plenty of ways to vote.
Secure drop boxes are an option, and so is dropping off a completed ballot at a local polling place. And, as always, people can vote at their local polling place as long as they are in line by 8 p.m.
Some polling places in Salt Lake County will have federal monitors from the U.S. Department of Justice. We should find out today where they will be, and we have detailed what they can and can’t do.
You can find your closest voting location by searching by address on votesearch.utah.gov.
Utahns are allowed to return ballots for people they live with as long as each voter signs their own envelope.
For those who need it, some companies are offering the chance to take a discounted electric scooter, e-bike or rideshare to polling.
