Salt Lake County voters have some extra eyes on them this Election Day, as federal monitors sent by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department make the rounds at polling locations across the county.

Clerk Lannie Chapman said the monitors are visiting all 40 voting centers in the county, spending about 30 minutes at each site. As of 10 a.m., she said they had already stopped at a couple of locations.

So far, Chapman said the monitors have followed state election laws and have not interacted with voters or interfered with the voting process.

The county initially expected 12 monitors, but that number has since dropped to 11, Chapman said. That’s because one of the monitors is not eligible to vote in Utah, a requirement under state law to serve as a poll watcher, she said.

That person has continued traveling with the five federal monitor groups but cannot act as a poll watcher, she said, and they must stay at least 150 feet away from ballot boxes.

The monitors are among a thousand election monitors the DOJ said it would deploy to polling places across all 50 states.

The unusual move has left some election officials concerned about possible federal interference in elections, which are administered by counties and certified by local and state authorities.

Chapman said she has been reminding county staff of the rights of both election monitors and voters.
