The 2025 municipal general election in Alta was cancelled via Resolution 2025-R-26 because the races were uncontested, according to a notice on the town's website. The cancellation occurred because no write-in candidates declared by the deadline and there were no ballot propositions to be voted on.
The following candidates were considered elected: Mayor Roger Bourke, who serves a four-year term, and Council Seats At-Large, Carolyn Anctil and Craig Heimark, who also serve four-year terms.
In Alta, the town contracts with Salt Lake County to manage voting records and administer elections. Registration requirements for voters include being a United States citizen, a resident of Utah for at least 30 days immediately before the election, and being at least 18 years old on the day of the election. Some primary elections allow for candidates who will be 18 prior to the associated general election to be at least 17 years old. Voters must also reside in the specific voting district or precinct for which they are applying.
The Town of Alta provides voter information through the Federal Voting Assistance Program and Salt Lake County for military and overseas citizens.
