Utah vote-by-mail tightens deadline this municipal election
SALT LAKE CITY — Mail-in ballots are on their way to homes across Utah, but this year, voters who choose to use the postal service have a shorter deadline than ever.
In years past, ballots could trickle into the Salt Lake County Clerk’s Office for a few days after election day as long as they were postmarked appropriately, but no longer. The 2025 municipal and primary election marks the beginning of a new standard.
“You need to make sure that it’s in your clerk’s hands by 8 p.m. on election night,” explained Salt Lake County Clerk Lannie Chapman.
Chapman said that the former rule gave a little extra flexibility to the voter.
