Monday is the deadline for by-mail ballots to be postmarked, but officials urge using a drop box instead

While Election Day technically is Tuesday, Monday is the final day for by-mail ballots to be postmarked in Utah.Most election officials urge voters at this point to skip using the mail — and to deposit ballots directly into county drop boxes.“I think they’re safer if they deposit in them in a ballot drop box,” said Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen. Her county has 21 of them. Sites of drop boxes statewide are listed online at vote.utah.gov.Davis County Clerk-Auditor
