SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County is using two-page ballots for this first time in this year's general election. The Salt Lake County Clerk announced the change on Tuesday.
"The extensive ballot is designed to accommodate a broad range of federal, state, county, and local issues and give voters the opportunity to express their preferences at multiple levels of government," the county clerk's office said.
These two-page ballots will include 88 contests and 179 candidates. The ballots will also feature bond measures and constitutional amendments.
"Salt Lake County voters have more opportunities than ever to make their voices heard in this election," said Salt Lake County Clerk Lannie Chapman. "This year's two-card ballot includes a variety of important candidates and questions that impact our community. We encourage all voters to carefully review both pages and fully participate in this crucial election."
Both pages of the extended ballot will be double-sided.
To avoid confusion, each page of the ballot will be labeled with a colored box in the top right corner. Page one will use a blue box labeled '1 of 2' and page two will use an orange box labeled '2 of 2.'
The county has a sample ballot and other information up on a dedicated county clerk website. Additional information about the election is also available on the county election website.
Ballots will be mailed to all registered voters starting the week of Oct. 15. Voters can return their ballots via drop boxes, early voting locations or by mail. For those who will vote in person, Election Day vote centers will be available on Nov. 5.
