It’s primary day

Not too late to vote in Utah’s Republican and Democratic contests.

This year’s slate of primaries includes five members of Utah’s congressional delegation, along with 23 state Legislature races.

Sen. Mike Lee is facing Republican challengers Becky Edwards and Ally Isom.

All four Utah congressmen face primary challengers: Rep. Blake Moore faces Andrew Badger and Tina Cannon in the 1st Congressional District; Rep. Chris Stewart faces Erin Rider in the 2nd Rep. John Curtis is running against Chris Herrod in the 3rd; Rep. Burgess Owens is being challenged by Jake Hunsaker in the 4th.

Utah’s congressional districts were redrawn this past year during the decennial restricting process.

Many voters have already sent in their ballots in the mail or voted early. And although it’s too late for Utahns to mail their ballots, voters can drop off ballots or vote at voting centers on Tuesday. Prospective voters can register to vote at their polling place, which can be found at https://votesearch.utah.gov.

In the Beehive State, Republican primaries are closed, meaning voters have to be registered party members to vote in the GOP primary. Democratic primaries, on the other hand, are only semiclosed, allowing both party members and unaffiliated voters to participate.

Unaffiliated voters can also still register with a party on election day. However, the deadline to switch affiliation from one party to another has already passed as a result of a law enacted by the Legislature last year.

Utahns can follow the unofficial returns at sltrib.com soon after polls close. The first batch of results is expected to come in around 8:30 p.m. Check out the rest of The Tribune’s coverage of the state’s major primary races and issues at sltrib.com/politics.
