An official sample ballot for the Emery County General Election has been released, detailing the upcoming vote scheduled for November 3, 2026. The document, certified by the Clerk of Emery County, provides instructions and a list of candidates for various federal, state, and local offices.
The ballot includes contests for several federal and state positions. In the U.S. House District 3 race, candidates include Kent S. Udell, Cassie Easley, Celeste Maloy, Ayden Scott, Michael R. Stoddard, and Adonis Hooslyn. State House District 67 features JR Bird and Carl Ingwell, while Linda Hanks is listed for State School Board District 14.
County-level offices on the ballot include Commissioner A, Commissioner B, Treasurer, Attorney, Clerk/Auditor, Recorder, and Sheriff. Voters will also decide on several judicial retention questions, including whether to retain Jill M. Pohlman, Michele M. Christiansen Forster, David Ned Mortensen, John David Luthy, Ryan M. Harris, Amy Jo Oliver, Gregory Keith Orme, and Craig Miles Bunnell. Additionally, voters will decide on the retention of Jon R. Carpenter for the office of Emery County Justice Court Judge.
Two proposed constitutional amendments are included on the ballot. Constitutional Amendment A asks if the Utah Constitution should be amended to change how proposed amendments are published, requiring publication on the Utah Public Notice Website and the Lieutenant Governor's website for 60 days before the general election. Constitutional Amendment B asks if the Utah Constitution should be amended to require that citizen-proposed laws increasing taxes be approved by at least 50% of voters rather than a simple majority.
Voters are instructed to use a black or blue ballpoint pen and completely fill in the oval next to their chosen candidate. The ballot notes that if a ballot is torn, defaced, or wrongly marked, voters should contact the County Clerk's office.
