SALT LAKE CITY — Next week's special Republican primary to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, has received lots of attention, but several cities are holding their own primary elections on Tuesday to narrow down the field of candidates for mayor and city council positions.
While some of the highest-profile municipal races — including for mayor of Salt Lake City — won't have primaries because the cities opted for ranked choice voting between multiple candidates in November, residents in a number of cities have received mail-in ballots regardless of whether they live within the boundaries of the 2nd Congressional District.
The primary election is Tuesday, Sept. 5. Polls open for in-person voting at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Mailed ballots can be delivered to a secure drop box, the county clerk's office or any polling location in your county. Election Day is the last day to postmark mail-in ballots.
Residents can register to vote and vote in person on Sept. 5.
See which cities will hold a primary election with this list of municipal races and candidates along the Wasatch Front, according to the county clerks in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis and Weber Counties:

Correction: An earlier version incorrectly listed the Copperton Improvement District as having a primary, but the district has chosen not to hold a primary per Utah law.
