FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN UTAH?

  You must be a United States citizen and 18 years old on or before the date of the general election. You must have been a resident of Utah for at least 30 days before the election. If you are a convicted felon, you can register and vote unless you are currently serving a jail or prison sentence. Voting rights are automatically restored when granted parole, sentenced to probation, or successfully complete your term of incarceration. You are eligible to register and vote if you are detained and awaiting trial and have not yet been convicted of a felony.

• How often do I need to register to vote?

  You are required to register to vote only once. However, if information like your name or address changes, you need to fill out the voter registration form again to keep your voter information up to date. Check your voter registration information at this link.

• Which party should I be affiliated with?

  KAGC does not endorse any party or candidate; as such KAGC does not guide anyone to vote for, or be affiliated with, any specific party. In most parts of the United States, the Republican Party and Democratic Party are two major political parties. Throughout U.S. history, 19 presidents have been Republican (including Presidents Lincoln, Reagan, Bush, and Trump) and 14 have been Democrats (including Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama) You may find more information on their respective websites.

  When registering to vote, it is not mandatory for a voter to declare party affiliation. However, in some states including Utah, primary elections are open to those voters with party affiliation, in which case you may vote only in the primary election of the party you are affiliated with. Should you remain unaffiliated, Utah state law permits political parties to choose whether to allow unaffiliated voters or voters not registered with the party to participate in their nominating contests before each election cycle.

• Am I limited to vote for the party I'm affiliated with?

  In the primary election in Utah, only voters with a party affiliation are allowed to vote for their party’s nominees. Voters unaffiliated with any party may participate in the primaries of a party, depending on party-specific policies for this election. In the general election, however, voters are free to vote for any candidate of their choice for each position on the ballot.

• What is this year's election about?

  On top of the ballot across the U.S. this year will be the candidates for U.S. President. In Utah, there are also candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Attorney General, State Treasurer, Utah State Senate, Utah State House, Utah State School Board, as well as several local positions. For more information, please see the section above on this page.

  To find your congressional district, visit the U.S. House of Representatives website and enter your zip code in the search bar on the top right-hand corner of the main page. For information on your Utah legislative district, please visit the Utah State Legislature website.

• Must I vote for each position on the ballot?

  Voters are not required to vote for every single position listed on the ballot. You may skip any position you do not support any candidate for, and you may also write-in a candidate of your choice not listed on the ballot. In the general election, voters may also vote for any candidate of preference regardless of party affiliations.

• What happens if I move?

  Every time there is a change in your address, whether in-state or out of state, you must update the information by filling out a voter registration form. Government agencies often mail election-related information to your address on file, which sometimes requires a prompt response. When a response is missing for a certain period of time, your voter registration may be considered inactive and is subject to elimination.

• I registered to vote a long time ago. What should I do now?

  Please visit this website to check your voter registration status, as well as the information on your voter registration. If your status is inactive, your information does not appear, or any of your information is inaccurate, please fill out the voter registration form and submit it by the deadline.

• Does voting lead to a mandatory jury duty?

  No. Voter registration and jury duty have no correlation with each other. Jury duty selection is made based on a different database than the voter roll.
