More than 40,000 Davis County voters have already returned their ballots ahead of the Nov. 3 general election, County Clerk Brian McKenzie said.

McKenzie told Fox 13 the county is on track to receive the number of ballots election officials expected. Voters can still return ballots by mail, at a drop box or at a polling location, according to the Davis County Clerk's Office. All ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 to be counted.

One change this year: mail-in voters must include the last four digits of their Utah driver's license, state ID or Social Security number on the return envelope, KSL reported Oct. 14. Ballots missing that number can still be verified through signature matching, but that backup option expires in 2029 under a 2025 state law. The requirement does not apply to in-person voting.

Early voting runs through Friday, Oct. 30, in Farmington, according to the county's election calendar. Voters who miss that window can cast a ballot in person on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The ballot is long. The county's certification notice lists federal, state and county races, Davis School Board seats, judicial retention votes and two constitutional amendments. Amendment A would change how proposed constitutional amendments are published, replacing newspaper publication with a method set by state law. Amendment B would require citizen-proposed laws that raise taxes to win at least 60% of the vote instead of a simple majority.

McKenzie said the ballot has two sides and urged voters to research the candidates and issues before filling it out.

"There are two sides to that ballot. There's a lot of issues. A lot of candidates, some constitutional amendments," McKenzie said, according to Fox 13. "We want to make sure the voters understand and take the time to research these candidates."

For context, the June 2026 primary drew 45,797 ballots from 111,056 active registered voters, a 41.2% turnout, according to Davis County Commission meeting minutes. The vast majority of those primary ballots, 43,809, arrived by mail.

Voters with disabilities who cannot mark a paper ballot can request an electronic version by calling the clerk's office at 801-451-3213. Ballot status is available at vote.utah.gov.

The county begins its post-election audit on Nov. 13, with the official canvass set for Nov. 17.
