Elections staff across Utah have processed nearly 829,000 ballots as of Monday morning, according to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson.
That’s 46.2% of the ballots mailed to Utah’s 1.8 million registered voters, she said in a post on X.
Early voter turnout was higher in 2020, Henderson added — about 54.1% of voters had returned ballots the Friday before that election.
As of Monday morning, 828,976 ballots had been returned to county clerks. Most of those were cast through the mail, while more than 23,000 came from in-person voting.
Turnout varies across the state.
Utah’s rural counties generally have higher turnout, with many at more than 50% — and Garfield, Grand, Piute and Rich at more than 60%.
In contrast, Sanpete County has the lowest turnout at 35.1%.
