Students have a decision about where to register to vote.

You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes.

You may only be registered and vote in one location.

Online Voter Registration: If you register online, you must provide a Utah Driver’s License number or ID number with an address on it that matches your current address.

Paper Voter Registration: The state voter registration form requires your Utah Driver’s License number, ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number. Be sure to provide one of these numbers if you have it.

All Utah voters will be asked to present valid ID when voting in person, and any voter who does not provide valid identification documents when registering to vote will be required to provide a copy of them prior to voting by mail. You may present one form of non-expired ID that has your name and your picture, including:

• A Utah driver’s license

• An ID card issued by the state of Utah or the US government

• A Utah concealed weapon permit

• A U.S. passport

• A tribal ID card (does not require a photograph)

• U.S. military ID Card

You can also provide two forms of ID that prove your name and current address. A list of acceptable IDs include:

• Currently valid ID card issued by a local government within Utah

• Currently valid ID card issued by an employer

• Currently valid ID card issued by a college, university, technical      school, or professional school in Utah

• A utility bill dated within the 90 days before the election

• A bank or other financial account statement

• A certified birth certificate

• Certified naturalization documents (not a green card)

• A valid Social Security card

• A check issued by the state or the federal government

• A paycheck from the voter’s employer

• A current Utah hunting or fishing license

• Certified court records reflecting an adoption or name change

• Medicaid, Medicare, or EBT card

• Current Utah vehicle registration

By Mail: All active, registered voters in Utah are automatically mailed a ballot. Voters who will not be present at the address associated with their registration can update their mailing address online or contact their clerk’s office for information about receiving their mail ballot at their current mailing address.

• Completed Mail-in Ballot Return Deadline: Ballots must be postmarked by the day before Election Day. You can also drop your ballot off at a designated drop box by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Does Registering to Vote Affect my Federal Financial Aid?

Where you register to vote will not affect federal financial aid such as Pell Grants, Perkins or Stafford loans, or your dependency status for FAFSA.

Does Registering to Vote Affect my Status as a Dependent on My Parents’ Taxes?

Being registered to vote at a different address from your parents does not prevent them from claiming you as a dependent on their taxes.

Does Registering to Vote impact my Tuition Status?

Being deemed out-of-state for tuition purposes does not prevent you from choosing to register to vote in your campus community.

Will registering to vote in Utah affect my driver’s license or car registration?
