Election deadlines approaching for Eagle Mountain residents

As Election Day draws near, Eagle Mountain residents are reminded of several important deadlines to ensure their participation in the upcoming November election.

Key dates include voter registration deadlines, mail-in ballot requirements and early voting opportunities.

The deadline for voter registration and address updates is Friday, Oct. 25, at 5 p.m. Residents can register to vote online, by email, or by submitting the voter registration form by mail or in person to the Utah County Elections Division.

For those who miss this deadline, same-day registration is available at Vote Centers on Election Day, Nov. 5. Voters registering on Election Day will need to provide proof of identity and residency and will cast a provisional ballot.

Vote by mail ballots will be sent to registered voters starting the week of Oct. 14. Ballots may be returned either by placing them in an official drop box by 8 p.m. on Election Day, or by mailing them through USPS with a postmark no later than Nov. 4, the day before the election.

Drop boxes are available 24 hours a day, starting Oct. 14, and a list of locations is available through the Utah County Elections Division.

For those who prefer to cast their votes early, early voting will take place at the Provo Health and Justice Building (151 S University Ave, Provo) from Oct. 28 to Nov. 4. Voting hours are 8 a.m. to 5p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2.

For further information or assistance, residents may contact the Utah County Elections Division at (801) 851-8128 or via email at elections@utahcounty.gov.

Residents are encouraged to be mindful of these deadlines to ensure their participation in the electoral process.
