Utah’s Democratic Party releases statement

When the polls closed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Utah’s Democratic Party released a statement:

This year, we had over 100 Democrats all across the state step up to run for local office, and we have been extremely proud of the hard work and long hours they have put in. Running for office is difficult, rewarding work, and I want to personally thank and congratulate all of our candidates, no matter the final result of their election.

This year, we also had an election in CD-2 that nobody was planning on. Since announcing her candidacy in June, Sen. Kathleen Riebe has been a fantastic candidate, and she has put in the work in every corner of the district, carrying the banner of our party and motivating voters of all political affiliations who are looking for a new kind of representation. While we don’t have any results yet, I want to thank Sen. Riebe for her dedication and congratulate her on running a truly inspiring campaign. Win or lose, she has contributed significantly to the long, important work of building the Utah Democratic Party across the state, and we are incredibly grateful to her and her team and proud of what they have accomplished.”

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s special election for the 435th seat of Congress is underway. Today’s election also covers municipal cities in the state.

The Associated Press says special elections like this one tend to have a lower voter turnout compared to regularly scheduled elections.

KSL TV has compiled a list of basic information on the election, so voters can plan accordingly.

On the ballot

Voters will cast their ballots for the vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to replace former Rep. Chris Stewart, who stepped down in May.

The remaining leading candidates are Republican Celeste Maloy and Democrat Kathleen Riebe, though seven candidates total will appear on the ballot to account for the Constitution, Libertarian, and United Utah parties.

Another highly anticipated race will be Salt Lake City’s mayoral race. Incumbent Erin Mendenhall will face former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, and community activist Michael Valentine.

Municipal cities around Utah will also cast their mayoral votes on the ballot. Voters will be eligible to vote for the city they’re registered to.

Voter information

If you’re not sure whether you’re registered to vote or not, you can check on Utah’s voting site. If you’re not listed, you can still register on voting day at a polling location if you bring two forms of ID.

Before you go, it’s a good idea to check the registration qualifications to be sure you can register with no problem.

Polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

Assigned polling spots can be found on Voter Search, which depends on the city found on your valid state driver’s license. A larger list of voting locations can be found here.

Voters can additionally drop off their vote-by-mail ballots at a polling location during polling hours in order to skip the line.
