Live updates from the 2024 presidential election

Editor's Note • The Salt Lake Tribune will report live on Election Day. Check back here for updates and results.

It's Election Day – and you still have plenty of time to cast your vote and even register to vote.

First, if you have your ballot and haven't mailed it yet, don't mail it. The postmark was yesterday and your vote doesn't count. You can still take it to a mailbox or polling station.

Or go vote in person. The volunteers and poll workers are incredibly helpful and the polls close at 8 p.m. – or until everyone in line has cast their vote.

If you plan to vote in person, be sure to get to the polls as soon as possible, as Lieutenant Governor Deirdre Henderson — Utah's top elections official — predicts there could be long lines tonight.

“County officials have been instructed not to release results until every Utah resident in line when polls close has had the opportunity to vote,” Henderson said in a news release Monday. “We will keep everyone updated if any delays occur and ask for your patience as our county officials administer the election. We also encourage those who have not already done so to return their ballots as soon as possible. The sooner you vote, the more meaningful our initial results will be.”

And if you still need to register to vote, there's still time. New voters can register at a polling station today, but they must bring two forms of identification.

10:45 a.m.: Lines form early in front of the polling stations

Utahns got up early Tuesday morning to vote.

At one polling place – the River's Bend Senior Center in Salt Lake City's Fairpark neighborhood – around 40 people were lined up to vote as early as 7:30 a.m., half an hour after the polls opened. The line stretched from the meeting room where the voting booths were located to the hallway.

At a polling place in Orem, Tanner Guzy posted on X, there was no line. “It took me about five minutes from entering to leaving,” Guzy wrote.
