CACHE COUNTY – With ballots in the upcoming municipal elections slated to be sent to registered voters in less than a week, the Cache County Clerk’s office has reemphasized the locations of ballot drop boxes scattered throughout Cache County.
Those ballots will begin arriving in county residents’ mail boxes on Tuesday, Oct. 14 and must be returned to county officials not later than 8 p.m. on Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 4), according to Cache County Clerk Bryson Behm.
City officials throughout the Cache County are strongly encouraging voters to either return their ballots early via the U.S. Postal Service or use the official drop boxes in each municipality to ensure that their votes are counted.
Under a recent change to state law, postmarks will no longer be accepted as proof of timely ballot submission. For a ballot to be counted in the upcoming primary election, it must have arrived at the Cache County Clerk’s Office not later than 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
