A municipal general election is an opportunity for voters to elect candidates to office in their city or local service district. This is different from the municipal primary election, where the purpose was to narrow the field of candidates to advance to the general election, according to the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office.
In addition to the municipal election this year, there will also be a special election to fill the congressional seat in Congressional District 2.

It is important to note that only active registered voters with a contest that pertains to their precinct will receive a ballot. To vote for the open congressional seat, voters must reside in the boundaries of Congressional District 2. To view your congressional district, click here.
If you did not receive a ballot and believe you should have, contact the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office.
If you decide to vote in-person, make sure to bring identification. You may vote at any vote center, regardless of where you reside in the county. You do not need to vote in every contest — your ballot will still be counted if some contests are left blank.
If you make a mistake while filling out your ballot, cross out the entire name and oval and fill in the oval of your correct choice. Voting for more than the number of eligible seats in a contest will result in your vote in that contest not being counted, according to the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office.
