Most folks around the Basin have received their election ballots in the mail and if you weren’t yet registered to vote, it’s not too late. The deadline to register to vote is November 1st and can be done physically at the county clerk’s office or by visiting
www.vote.utah.gov
. Uintah County Clerk/Auditor Mike Wilkins encourages all voters to get their ballots in the mail and to remember they must be postmarked before November 7th. Common questions over the ballot include confusion over school board races and whether or not you have to vote your party. “With the school board races, only the candidates running in your district will be on your ballot,” explains Wilkins. “There are 3 district offices up for election so it depends on where you live of which candidates you’ll choose from.” As far as voting your party, Wilkins says you can split your vote however you choose on every single race, regardless of which party you are registered with.
