Utah Provisional Voting

Provisional ballots are counted no later than 14 days after the election.

Provisional voting was mandated to ensure that every eligible voter who is registered or who believes they are registered can cast a ballot in federal elections with the knowledge that a fair process will be followed to determine if the provisional ballot is eligible to be counted. You may vote a provisional ballot if:

• You moved anywhere in the state but did not reregister at your new address. You will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot at your new polling location
• You registered through any public agency but your name does not appear on the Official Register. You will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot at your new polling location

All provisional voters will be asked for photo ID and/or proof of current residence at the polls.

You will be given instructions on how to view the status of your provisional ballot. If you have any questions please call the Lieutenant Governor's Office at 801-538-1041 or 1800-995-VOTE, or contact your County Clerk.  Please allow 10-14 days after each election for this information to be available.
