2023 Election Information

Elections Matter! The 2023 General Election Day is Tuesday, November 21, 2023!

Why is Election Day the same week as Thanksgiving, instead of the first Tuesday of November? Because Utah decided to move its election to accomodate a special election to fill the Congressional seat held by Rep. Chris Stewart. Learn more here
