Utah Election Results 2026: Voting has ended

If you are already registered and vote in person in Utah, you must show either ONE valid (unexpired) primary form of ID that has your name and your photograph – for example a Utah driver license, a U.S. passport or a currently valid U.S. military ID card – or TWO forms of ID that, when combined, prove your name and current residence, such as a current Utah vehicle registration, a certified birth certificate or a valid Social Security card. If you are not yet registered and vote a provisional ballot, you must show two acceptable forms of ID: one that verifies identity and one for proof of residence.

To register to vote in Utah you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Utah for at least 30 days before the election, and 18 years old on or before Election Day. You are considered a resident if your primary home is in Utah and you intend to stay permanently or indefinitely. A 17-year-old may register and vote in a primary election if they will be 18 on or before the day of the general election that immediately follows that primary. Registration must be received by the county clerk by the deadline; after the deadline you may still register in person at an 2026 advance-voting location or on Election Day with two forms of identification.

In Utah a felony conviction does not permanently take away the right to vote. The state's voter information site says that if you are a convicted felon, you can register and vote unless you are currently serving a jail or prison sentence. Voting rights are restored upon parole, probation, or completion of incarceration, so people on parole or probation may register and vote.

Under Utah Code 20A-3a-105, an employer must allow an employee who is a voter to be absent from work on Election Day for not more than two hours between the time the polls open and close, and may not deduct from the employee's usual salary or wages because of the absence. The employee must apply for the leave before Election Day. The employer may set the hours of absence, but must grant a request to take the time at the beginning or end of the work shift. The law does not apply to an employee who has three or more hours off while the polls are open. An employer who violates the section commits a class B misdemeanor.
