Utah has a new congressional map, and a week and a half until Election Day — but it isn’t seeing the same early voting surge as other parts of the country amid a fight for control in Washington.

Still, with 11 days between Friday — when numbers were last reported — and polls closing, turnout so far looks “really good,” Salt Lake County Clerk Lannie Chapman said.

Approximately 8.3% of Utah voters’ ballots had been cast and processed as of Friday morning, according to a social media post by Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, who oversees elections in the state. Utah had 1,787,566 active voters as of Oct. 19, according to Henderson’s office, and 8.3% of that is about 149,000.

That only accounts for ballots clerks have managed to process, not every returned ballot.

While some counties have not yet reported processing any ballots, remote Rich County on Utah’s northern border has collected ballots from nearly a quarter of registered voters there. The county clerk didn’t return a voicemail inquiring about the rural area’s higher turnout.

Nationwide, 21.4% of voters who received a mail ballot had cast it as of Friday afternoon, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab. That’s about 12.6 million returned ballots. An additional 10.4 million people have cast their votes in person.

Some of the highest early voting turnout rates relative to 2022 totals appear to be in states with tight Senate races. That includes Georgia, where ballots cast make up 37.8% of the total 2022 turnout, and Texas, where that proportion is 33.7%.

Last year, a Utah judge ordered the Legislature to adopt new congressional maps as part of a yearslong redistricting fight. The new map made one of Utah’s four congressional districts the first reliably blue seat the state has seen in decades.

That district lies in Salt Lake County, where Chapman said about 77,000 ballots had been returned as of the end of day Thursday. According to Henderson’s post, turnout there has reached 9.9% — 1.6 percentage points higher than the rest of the state.

The Cook Political Report continues to rate Utah’s other three congressional districts “solid Republican.”

Utah voters have until 8 p.m. on Nov. 3, Election Day, to cast their ballot or line up at a polling place to do so.

If voters opt to use the ballot left in their mailbox, they must send it early enough to arrive at the county clerk’s office before polls close or leave it in a drop box before the 8 p.m. Election Day cutoff.
