Tuesday is Primary day in Utah

It’s Primary Election Day in Utah, although most counties are conducting it by mail and sent out the ballots three weeks ago.

 

Locations of drop boxes include city halls, libraries and county government centers. For example, here is a list in Salt Lake County and here is a list in Utah County and here’s more information about Davis County. Or you can go to vote.utah.gov to see where you can vote in person.

“The drop boxes and voting centers are open until 8 pm,” said Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen.

The Republican primary is only for those who register as a Republican, but the Democratic primary is open. School Board races are unaffiliated.

“The general election is when people actually elect the people who will hold office,” Swensen noted.

Republican Mitt Romney faces Mike Kennedy in the US Senate race, and John Curtis is up against Chris Herrod again in the Republican primary for 3rd Congressional District.

There are also other primary races like in the Utah County Sheriff’s race, some state house seats, unaffiliated school board elections, and others around the state.

Cache County is offering extra assistance because they had an unexpected delay in getting their ballots out.

We want to hear from you.

Supreme Court again confronts the issue of abortion, this time over access to widely used pill

Two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and cleared the way for bans or severe restrictions on abortion in many Republican-led states, abortion opponents on Tuesday will ask the high court to ratify a ruling from a conservative federal appeals court that would limit access to the medication mifepristone, which was used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the United States last year.
