Residents will be narrowing down the number of people running for a variety of positions including state Senate and House of Representative seats, a county commission seat and school board positions.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s election will be conducted completely by mail. There will be no in-person polling places. There will also be no early voting or provisional ballot voting.

Mail-in ballots will need to be postmarked on or before June 30.

Alternatively, Sanpete County has four drop boxes placed in the area where residents can drop off their completed ballots. They can be found at the following locations:

• Manti: Sanpete County Court House, 160 N. Main, on the south side of the building and the south side of the driveway between the court house and the post office.

• Mount Pleasant: City Hall, 115 W. Main, on the south side of the building between city hall and the health department building.

• Ephraim: City Hall, 5 S. Main, behind the building on the east side of the parking lot.

• Gunnison: City Hall, 38 W. Center, on the east side of the building by the police department.

The deadline for registering to vote or changing one’s party affiliation is June 19. Voter registration forms are available at the county offices located at 160 N. Main in Manti. Residents can also register online at vote.utah.gov.

Those who can’t make it to the county offices or register online can call the Sanpete County Clerk’s office at 435-835-2131 Ext. 5
