Election night results notice

SALT LAKE CITY (Nov. 4, 2024) – Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson warns that long lines at polling locations could delay election reporting of results on election night. In the interest of ensuring that Utahns have an opportunity to vote without the influence of initial results, early results will be held until the last voter in line has cast their ballot.

According to Lt. Gov. Henderson, “County clerks have been instructed not to publish results until every Utahn waiting in line when the polls close has had a chance to vote.” She continued, “We will keep everyone updated if there are any delays and ask for patience as our county officials administer the election. We also urge those who have not done so to please return your ballots as soon as possible. The sooner you vote, the more robust our initial results will be.”

Remember that ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by today, Monday, November 4, 2024. You can find in person polling and secure ballot drop box locations at vote.utah.gov.

Election results will be posted on electionresults.utah.gov.
