Ballots for the August 12th City Council primary election will be mailed in late July. There are two city council positions open (Lance Anderson’s and mine). If you will be out of town around the end of this month, please get an absentee ballot sent to wherever you will be. Please do this today to be sure you get your ballot.
- The Post Office will not forward ballots even if you are having your mail forwarded.
If you are out of town and have forwarded your mail, your ballot will NOT be forwarded. The only way you can receive your ballot at a different address is to update your mailing address. I believe you have to do this by August 1st.
Also, don’t wait until the last minute to mail your ballot!
How to receive ballots at your out-of-town address:
- You can “update your mailing address” at https://secure.utah.gov/voterreg/index.html
- You can enter start and end dates in the online form.
- You can also fill in a PDF form for a temporary change of address at https://www.washco.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Alternate-Address-Form5-23.pdf I’m not certain this is the best way to do it though. I worry about the information getting input in time.
