More than half of Utah’s active voters’; ballots have been processed

State Director of Elections Justin Lee says, “Our county clerks are telling us they have more ballots on hand then they generally see at this time. So everything looks good for turnout and people turning out their ballots.”

Lee says processed ballots are just ballots that have been checked in.

“Ballots processed are those ballots that county clerks have received and then have worked through the system, they’ve checked them into the system, given them vote history, and we know they’re good to go and their ballots will be counted,” says State Director of Elections Justin Lee.

That doesn’t mean that’s how many ballots have been received. Lee says clerks have received “a lot” more than have been processed.

“I was up in Davis County last Friday and I saw them bring in thousands and thousands of ballots so they’re working through those and that obviously takes some time.” Lee says.

Per state law, ballots can be processed before Election Day, but votes aren’t tabulated until then.
