In West Jordan, voters are encouraged to pay attention to important calendar dates (like mail-in deadlines) and voting locations.

For voters planning to vote-by-mail, ballots must be received by 8p.m. on election day  (postmarks don’t count). In other words -- mail early.

“We had 110 ballots that were returned after the postmark deadline,” said City of West Jordan City Recorder Tangee Sloan. “I think it’s important for the residents to know that ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day, regardless of postmark.” 

This is a change from previous election cycles when residents were able to postmark their ballots on the day of the general election. Per the recently passed H.B. 300, voters do need to make sure their ballots are physically ‘in-hand’ at at the Salt Lake County office (downtown Salt Lake) building on election day. 

For voters who would like to drop off their ballot instead of mailing it in: West Jordan’s ballot drop boxes are located at City Hall (3600 Constitution Blvd.) and Ron Wood Park (6000 New Bingham Hwy.).
