Mail-in ballots trickling in, causing concern among county clerks

SALT LAKE CITY — Facing lower-than-expected turnout for early and by-mail voting with Election Day just a week away, county clerks are urging Utahns to cast their ballots as soon as possible.
"Don't delay — vote today!" Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen's office urged in a news release Tuesday.
Less than 21 percent — about 93,000 — of mail-in ballots in Salt Lake County had been returned as of Tuesday, Swensen said, though she's hoping for at least 50 percent turnout
