Early voting is but one way southern Utah residents are able to cast their votes.

Contact your local County Clerks office for more information pertaining to your area.

Election Day Voting

Kane County – Vote Center Location
Voters who would prefer to cast their votes on election day can still do that this year. Unlike many previous years, there will not be a voting location in the Orderville/Glendale area but instead, the one location will be in the Commission Chambers at 76 North Main St. in Kanab (Google Maps).

There is an outside drop box at that location where you can drop your ballot anytime until 8 PM on election day. And, even if you are not currently registered to vote in Utah you can register and vote on Election Day as long as you are otherwise qualified to be a Utah voter (see checklist below).

Washington County – Vote Center Location
To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, and to accommodate social distancing requirements, Election Day in-person voting will be held at the:

Dixie Convention Center
1835 Convention Center Dr.
St George UT 84790
(Google Maps)

Polls will open at 7 AM and close at 8 PM on Election Day.
Registration by provisional ballot will also be available.

This Vote Center will have an electronic voting machine available to assist voters with sight or mobility issues. An individual with a disability who is not able to vote a manual ballot by mail may obtain information on voting in an accessible manner from the county’s website (Election Info) or by contacting the county clerk @ 435-986-3399 or you can send an email to elections@utah.gov.

Voting By Mail

All Washington and Kane County active voters should have already received their ballots which were all sent by US Mail last week. I received mine yesterday but I had not checked my mail for a few days and many of my friends expressed they received theirs last week. If you did not receive your ballot by now you should contact the clerk’s office immediately.

You can still register to vote through this Friday, October 23rd if you qualify to vote in Utah. Or, you will be able to register for provisional voting on November 3rd at any in-person voting location.
