• Be a resident of Utah for at least 30 days immediately preceding Election Day.

No! You do not need a Utah driver’s license to vote in Utah. However, if you don’t have a driver’s license in Utah, you will need other forms of ID that prove your identity and residency in Utah. These TWO forms of ID, when combined, need to prove your name and current residence.

If you have any questions on what forms of ID are acceptable for your specific situation, please contact your county clerk.

You’ll want to update your information for your current address on the Lt. Governor’s website here. If you’re not sure if you’re registered to vote or at the correct address, you can look it up here.

If you have previously registered to vote and then later change your legal name, you will need to re-register with the new name.

If you have a Utah Driver License or State ID with your new name and current address you can register online. Or, if you prefer, you can fill out a new voter registration form and submit it to your county clerk via email or US Postal Mail.

You should register at the address you consider your permanent residence. This can be either your home address or your school address, but you may only be registered in one location.

Yes. If you are a convicted felon, you can register and vote unless you are currently serving a jail or prison sentence. Rights are restored automatically upon parole, probation, or completion of incarceration.

Response from the Lt. Governor’s Office:

There is no specific protocol because every situation looks different in every county. In general, the best thing for a voter to do is reach out to their county clerk’s office. Depending on when the voter is displaced they might have time to request another ballot be mailed to them. That being said, if it is too close to election day they may need to go vote in person. County clerks are always happy to help work with people and figure out the best option for them depending on their situation.

On or after May 25, 2026, additional information will be made public on voter registration records pursuant to SB153, a law passed during the 2026 Legislative Session that removes many voter record privacy protections. A voter’s public voter registration record will now, once again, include the voter’s full legal name, voter identification number, residential address, mailing address, voting precinct and districts, party affiliation, status as an active or inactive voter, the last date the voter registration was updated, and a list of elections in which the voter has voted. Public voter registration records will be available to anyone who can purchase the statewide list from the Lieutenant Governor’s office or a smaller subsection of the list from a county clerk.

This type of information was public until the Utah Legislature passed a law in 2018 allowing Utahns to opt into a “withheld” status to keep their voter registration records private.

There is an exception for certain “At-Risk Voters.” Voters who meet one of the following qualifications can request to keep their voting records private:

• Victims, or threatened victims, of domestic or dating violence
• Law enforcement officers
• Active military members
• Public figures as defined under Utah law
• Individuals protected by a court order
• Individuals who reside with anyone considered an at-risk voter

Voters can apply for “At-Risk Voter” status on a rolling basis. For those who applied prior to May 6, 2026, and were approved, records will remain private. For those who applied after May 6, 2026, records may be made public until approved for removal. The forms are available at county clerk offices or online, here.

Yes. You must be a resident of Utah for at least 30 days before the election.

Registering to vote online requires a valid Utah driver’s license or ID, BUT you can still register in person or by filling out a paper form and mailing or delivering it to your county clerk’s office.

The form must be received by your county clerk no later than 5 p.m., 11 calendar days before Election Day: Download Paper Form

HB209 passed into law during the 2026 Legislative Session. Under HB209, only voters who have been verified as U.S. citizens may receive a state ballot starting with the 2026 general election. Currently, the Lieutenant Governor’s office and county clerks’ offices are working to verify the citizenship status of everyone on the voter rolls and newly registered voters.

Prior to an election, if your citizenship status cannot be independently verified, you will receive a letter and an email or SMS message to notify you that you need to provide additional documents showing citizenship to your county clerk ahead of voting. If you do not provide proof of citizenship before voting, you may vote in person with a provisional ballot and provide citizenship documents before the deadline to cure your ballot. Please refer to your county clerk’s instructions on how to do so.

Utah’s official voter search shows what issues and who is on your ballot. Enter your address to see it.

Yes, Utah allows in-person same-day voter registration through casting a provisional ballot. Even if you miss the deadline to register in advance, you can still vote!
