Historically, voting by mail has been safe and secure. It should be this election, too.

We want to present facts, not fear. And on paper, voting by mail should happen as normal in Utah. Here is what you need to know if you plan to vote by mail.

Voting by mail can be done from home and on your own schedule. No lines or having to be at a certain place at a certain date and time.

This administration has repeatedly threatened to disallow mail-in ballots. None of these efforts

have succeeded so far.

On the one hand, being scared to vote by mail feels like obeying in advance. Which we should not do! On the other hand, some of the other options may be more secure in this specific election if you have the ability to do so.

In Utah, you must be an ACTIVE registered voter for a ballot to be mailed to you. Be sure you have checked this at vote.utah.gov  before ballots begin mailing out on October 13.

Your ballot needs to be RECEIVED by your County Clerk by November 3, not simply be postmarked. The absolute last day we recommend mailing your ballot is October 27 (one week before it needs to arrive).
