Early voting under way for Sept. 15 primary election

Starting Tuesday, may voters can add their local city halls as places to cast early ballots for the Sept. 15 primary election.

In-office early voting has been under way since Aug. 17 at the Salt Lake County clerk's office, and county Clerk Sherrie Swensen is now encouraging voters in the 12 municipalities holding primary elections this year to take advantage of early voting opportunities at county headquarters, city halls and via mail. Early voting options vary in counties throughout the state.

A new statute, passed during the 2009 legislative session, requires all voters to show ID. Acceptable identification includes a Utah driver's license, Utah identification card, Utah concealed weapons permit, a current U.S. passport or federally issued identification card or a current tribal identification card.

A complete list of acceptable documents and forms of identification is available at www.clerk.slco.org.
