THE ISSUES
VOTING INFORMATION
Ballots are out, which means it’s time to vote! Here’s all the information you need to make your voice heard in this race.
RANKED-CHOICE VOTING
Salt Lake City elections are ranked-choice, which means you will have the option to rank all five District 3 candidates in order of preference on your ballot. But it’s important to remember that you do not have to rank all candidates, meaning you can rank Chris #1 and leave the rest of your ballot blank if you choose to.
If you need more guidance on how ranked-choice voting works, you can find information and resources here.
VOTING DEADLINES & DROP BOX LOCATIONS
All registered voters in District 3 will be mailed a ballot starting on October 14th (if you don’t receive a ballot, please contact the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office).
