“The Utah GOP encourages all registered Republicans to have their voices heard in selecting their preferred presidential candidate, state and county delegates, as well as local precinct officers by participating in the upcoming caucus night,” said Utah GOP Chairman Robert Axson. “Our party has invested a historic amount of money into advertising to promote caucus participation. The party aims to make the caucus process accessible and straightforward for all eligible voters, whether they choose to participate in person or absentee. We want to thank the thousands of people who have already pre-registered for the upcoming caucus night, demonstrating a strong interest and commitment to participating in the political process. These early registrations indicate a high level of engagement and enthusiasm within the Republican community,” Axson continued.

If the absentee voter is unable to deliver the ballot(s) themselves, the absentee voter may give their ballot(s) to a neighbor, family member, or precinct host to bring on the voter’s behalf. If giving their ballot to someone else, the absentee voter must provide a photocopy of their valid government-issued ID, such as a Utah Driver’s License, along with their ballot(s).
