Eagle Mountain City officials announced Thursday that residents have several options for participating in the Regular Primary Election scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The city outlined specific procedures for in-person voting, mail-in ballots, and secure drop box usage to ensure all votes are counted under new state regulations.
In-person voting location and hours
According to an announcement from Eagle Mountain City on June 18, residents who prefer to vote in person on Election Day can visit The Barn at Overland. This specific location will be open exclusively for in-person voting on June 23, 2026, between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
ID requirements and ballot processing
The city noted that voters appearing at The Barn at Overland must present a valid ID. Once identification is verified, a poll worker will print a ballot for the voter to complete before placing it into the tabulator. The announcement also clarified that Eagle Mountain residents are not limited to this single location and may utilize any available voting location within Utah County.
Instructions for using secure drop boxes
For those who have received ballots through the mail, Eagle Mountain City provided instructions for using secure drop boxes. A drop box is located at the north end of Eagle Mountain City Hall and is intended for the return of completed ballots.
Drop box accessibility and deadlines
The Utah County ballot drop box situated at City Hall remains accessible 24 hours a day. However, officials emphasized that all ballots must be deposited in the box no later than 8:00 PM on Election Day to be considered valid.
Important warnings regarding mailed ballots
The city issued a specific warning regarding ballots returned via the U.S. Postal Service, noting that voters must add a stamp to their envelopes and are encouraged to mail them early to ensure timely arrival at the Elections Office.
New state regulations on ballot delivery
This guidance comes in response to changes in state law. Under new regulations, a ballot is only eligible to be counted if it is received by the Elections Office before the polls close on Election Day. The city highlighted that a postmark is no longer sufficient evidence of timely delivery. Because of this stricter requirement, officials recommended that voters who are approaching the Election Day deadline use the City Hall drop box instead of the mail to guarantee their ballots arrive on time.
For residents seeking to vote before the primary election, early in-person voting remains an option at the Utah County Elections Office. The office maintained operating hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM during the period of June 15 through June 18, and was scheduled to reopen on June 22.
The city noted that the Utah County Elections Office was closed on June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.
Eagle Mountain City continues to direct residents to Utah County voting information and the city's own elections and voting resources for further details regarding polling locations and election procedures.
