With less than one month until the general election, voters in Summit and Wasatch counties should make sure they’re prepared to cast their ballots.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4, and ballots are expected to be mailed next week, on Oct. 14.
Early voting is available in Summit and Wasatch counties, though times and dates vary in each. Early voting runs from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1 in Summit County, while Wasatch County offers it from Oct. 28 to 31.
Each county clerk’s office must receive a ballot by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4 for it to be counted. Ballots had to be postmarked the day before Election Day in previous years, but new legislation changed the requirement. Voters returning their ballots by mail should check with the post office to make sure it arrives at the respective county clerk’s office in time.
As a result of the state law, ballots now include a section where voters can opt in to receiving them by mail going forward. Voters must opt in if they wish to receive mail-in ballots after 2029; they will no longer be sent to registered voters automatically.
Ballots will also have a section for voters to put their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security Number. In 2029, this method will replace signature verification.
The Summit County Clerk’s Office and Wasatch County Clerk’s Office will each perform a public logic and accuracy test to check the election equipment. The Summit County clerk will perform the test at 10 a.m. on Thursday, while the test is slated for 1 p.m. on Oct. 15 in Wasatch County.
The deadline to register and receive a vote-by-mail ballot for the 2025 General Election is 5 p.m. on Oct. 24. The easiest way to register, with an up-to-date Utah driver’s license, is to visit voter.utah.gov.
People who are not registered to vote by the deadline, but are otherwise eligible, may vote provisionally in person during early voting and on Election Day.
Voters can sign up to receive notifications on the status of their ballot using BallotTrax: trackmyballot.utah.gov/voter. Other election information, such as voter registration, is available at vote.utah.gov.

Francis voters will choose between Byron Ames and Jeremie Foreman for mayor. The Francis City Council candidates are Riley Atkinson, Shana Fryer, Clayton Querry and Lynsi Stone.

Voters living within the proposed West Hills boundaries will also be asked to vote on whether the new town should be allowed to incorporate.
Sample ballots for each precinct voting are available at summitcountyutah.gov/elections.
If a voter receives a letter or email from the Summit County Clerk’s Office asking to verify a signature for their ballot, they must complete a voter declaration form and return it to the Clerk’s Office by noon on Monday, Nov. 17.
A signature may not be verified because it was not included on a ballot envelope, or the signature did not match the Clerk’s Office records. Signing and returning the form allows the Clerk’s Office to process and count the ballot. Complete declarations may be emailed, mailed or delivered in person.
