All registered Utah voters will automatically receive a mail-in ballot before each election.
If you choose to vote in person, you must confirm your identity. There are several forms of identification you can use.
All first-time Utah voters must present or provide a copy of their Utah driver license or Utah identification card.
If you are voting in a Utah election for the first time, you must present or provide a copy of your unexpired Utah driver license or Utah identification card.
After your first election, you must show ONE unexpired form of ID that shows your name and photo.
If you do not have one of these IDs, you can also provide TWO forms of ID that, when combined, prove your name and current residence in your voting precinct.
The requirements are different if you are not already registered to vote and are voting with a provisional ballot. In that case, you will need to show TWO accepted forms of ID: one that verifies your identity AND one for proof of residence.
Registered voters in Utah must confirm their identity if they choose to vote in person.
