An official sample ballot for the Emery County general election has been released, outlining the upcoming vote scheduled for November 3, 2026. The document, certified by the Clerk of Emery County, provides instructions and lists candidates for various local and state positions.
The ballot includes races for U.S. House District 3, featuring candidates Kent S. Udell, Cassie Easley, Celeste Maloy, Ayden Scott, Michael R. Stoddard, and Adonis Hooslyn. State House District 67 includes candidates JR Bird and Carl Ingwell.
County office candidates listed include Jordan Leonard for Commissioner A, KEVEN A. JENSEN for Commissioner B, Michael D. Olsen for Attorney, Thomas Hansen for Clerk/Auditor, Danielle Farley for Recorder, and Josie K. Stilson for Sheriff.
Judicial retention questions on the ballot ask voters whether to retain several judges, including Jill M. Pohlman for the Utah Supreme Court, Michele M. Christensen Forster, David Ned Mortensen, Ryan M. Harris, Amy Jo Oliver, and Gregory Keith Orme for the Utah Court of Appeals. The ballot also includes retention questions for Craig Miles Bunnell for the Seventh Juvenile Court District and Jon R. Carpenter for the Emery County Justice Court.
Two proposed constitutional amendments are featured on the ballot. Constitutional Amendment A would change how proposed amendments are published, requiring the Lieutenant Governor to post the full text on the Utah Public Notice Website and the Lieutenant Governor's website for 60 days before the general election.
Constitutional Amendment B proposes that citizen-proposed laws that increase taxes compared to existing law would require approval by at least 50% of voters rather than a simple majority.
Voters are instructed to use a black or blue ballpoint pen to fill in the ovals next to their chosen candidate. If a ballot is torn, defaced, or wrongly marked, voters are advised to contact the County Clerk's office.
