The blue wave that swept the country didn’t miss Utah, and voters turned out to make it happen.

Lt. Gov Deidre Henderson’s office estimated between 60-65% turnout across the Beehive State, mirroring numbers from the last midterm election in 2022, when turnout was about 64.2% statewide.

County clerks were supposed to have voter participation reports uploaded by Wednesday, but a spokesperson from the lieutenant governor’s office said officials were still nudging several counties on Thursday.

Although many polling locations across the state were plagued by long lines even after polls closed on Tuesday, midterm turnout was still higher in the 2018 midterms, when nearly 76% of Utah voters cast ballots.

This year’s turnout was also much less than the 2024 general election, when 85% of Utah voters showed up to vote.
