Ballots Arrive with New Rules for Election Day

Please see the latest election results and information by selecting the buttons above. The 2025 Municipal General Election is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 4. Ballots will be mailed to active, registered voters the week of Oct. 14. 

The offices up for reelection this year are mayor and council members for District 4 and District 5. (Districts 1, 2 and 3 will be up for reelection in 2027). Incumbent Mayor Kristie Overson is running unopposed while candidates for District 4 are Meredith Harker and Martín Muñoz. Residents living in District 5 will choose between Robert “Bob” Knudsen and Paul Schulte.

All of the seats are four-year terms.

Be Sure to Return Ballots Early; They Must be Received by Election Night

In years past, voters could ensure their mail-in ballot was counted as long as it was postmarked by the day before Election Day. But a recent change in the law makes postmarks irrelevant. This year, mailed ballots must be in the county clerk’s possession by the time polls close at 8 p.m. on election night.

When, you may ask, should I mail it in order to ensure it’s received on time? The law doesn’t answer that question, so if you want to mail your ballot, sooner is better. Otherwise, a ballot can be deposited into the ballot drop box on the south side of City Hall (or at any of the other drop boxes in Salt Lake County) up until 8 p.m. on Nov. 4.

City Council Adopts Redistricting Maps

The City Council has adopted new council district maps that, as required, were redrawn following the 2020 Census. Utah State law requires that cities redistrict every 10 years to incorporate the new census results.

Because voting districts may grow in population during that time while others may see decreases in the number of voters living in a district, redistricting every decade is necessary. Cities must re-adjust the boundaries of each City Council district so that those districts are "substantially equal" in population. The goal of redistricting is to provide fair and effective representation by drawing boundaries that give each district roughly the same number of constituents.  Find the new map here.
