With the midterm elections just weeks away, it is time to make a voting plan.

Every “active” registered Utah voter — meaning they have registered recently or voted in at least one of the past two regular general elections — will receive a ballot in the mail by late October. In-person early and day-of voting is available to all voters, whether or not they are currently registered.

Here are the major dates to look out for in the lead-up to the midterms, plus information on how to track your ballot and make sure it gets back to election officials in time to be counted.

Oct. 13: First day ballots can be mailed to voters

Election officials will begin mailing out ballots to registered voters, who should receive their ballots within the coming days. Voters who want to check the status of their ballot at any point during the voting process can do so on the state’s official ballot tracking site, vote.utah.gov.

Oct. 20: In-person early voting begins

Two weeks before Election Day, Utahns can begin voting in person at select locations. Voters can check location options on the state’s elections website, votesearch.utah.gov.

Oct. 23: Last day to register to vote in the general election (kind of)

Oct. 23 marks the last day that Utahns can register to vote in the general election without having to use a provisional ballot. When voters use a provisional ballot, election workers must spend additional time verifying a voter’s eligibility before counting their ballot.

Oct. 27: Last day to request a ballot (except for military and overseas voters)

With just one week left before Election Day, Oct. 27 is the last day the state allows voters to request a mail-in ballot. This deadline does not apply to military and overseas voters, who have more time to request.

Election officials also say that with less than a week before the election, voters should return their ballots by dropping them off at a drop box, instead of putting them in the mail, to ensure that ballots arrive in time to be counted.

Oct. 31: Saturday early voting available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Salt Lake County

For the first time, Salt Lake County will open polling places for early voting on a Saturday in an effort to make casting a ballot more accessible for people busy during the week. The first-ever Saturday early voting will take place on Halloween.

Nov. 2: Last day overseas and military voters can request ballot

Military and overseas voters have until the day before the election to request their ballot. Voters who received their ballot by mail can leave ballots at drop boxes around the state.

Nov. 3: General election

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. In-person voting is available, and same-day voter registration is available, though voters who register on Election Day must use a provisional ballot. Voters who received their ballots in the mail need to drop off ballots at a drop box by 8 p.m.
