Bountiful general election ballots began arriving in mailboxes Tuesday, Oct. 13, giving voters three weeks to decide how to return them before polls close on Nov. 3.
The city laid out voting logistics in its Oct. 8 newsletter, spelling out three ways Bountiful residents can cast a ballot.
Mail it back early. Under a new Utah law, mail ballots must be in the Davis County Clerk's possession by 8 p.m. on election night. A postmark alone won't count.
Davis County Clerk Brian McKenzie urged voters not to wait, telling KUER on Oct. 12 that delays risk leaving ballots uncounted. "When people have doubt, they disengage," McKenzie said in that interview, as reported by Utah News Dispatch. "That is a concern for me as an administrator."
Drop it off. A 24-hour drive-thru drop box sits at the South Davis Senior Center, 726 S. 100 East, according to the Davis County election notice. The drop box is at a different location than the polling place and stays open through 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
Vote in person. Bountiful City Hall's basement, 795 S. Main St., serves as the Election Day polling place. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
Voters who prefer to cast a ballot before Nov. 3 can visit the Davis County Administration Building for early voting Oct. 27 through Oct. 30, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Nov. 3 ballot covers races for U.S. House Congressional District 2, state Senate and House seats, Davis County Commissioner, County Clerk and other county offices. Voters will also weigh in on Davis School Board seats, judicial retention votes and two constitutional amendments, according to a certification by McKenzie.
Residents can look up their specific ballot races on the Davis County Clerk's voter-insight page and update registration through the state's online voter portal. The Davis County Clerk's Office, at 61 S. Main St. in Farmington, takes election questions at 801-451-3213, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A post-election audit is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 13 at 10 a.m. at the Davis County Administration Building.
