It's primary Election Day and, so far, over 160,000 Utahns have cast their ballots.

The big picture: Midterm primaries don't draw the same attention as a presidential election, but they can be just as consequential, especially in Utah, where Republicans tend to dominate statewide races.

State of play: If you haven't voted yet, here's what you need to know:

It's too late to mail your ballot. A recent change to state law requires that ballots be in the clerk's possession by 8pm. Salt Lake County drop box locations are listed online.
If you're casting a ballot in person, voting centers will be open 7am-8pm.
Under state law, you must bring an acceptable form of identification to vote in person.

If you're not registered, you can do so at a voting location and cast a provisional ballot. Two forms of ID are required to register.

Worth your time: Already voted? Check the status of your mail or provisional ballot on the lieutenant governor's website.

If you believe your voting rights have been violated, contact your county clerk's office or the Utah Lt. Governor's Office at [email protected].
