A sample ballot for the Emery County general election scheduled for November 3, 2026, has been released. The document outlines candidates for various offices and proposed constitutional amendments for voters in the Huntington East area.

The ballot includes races for federal, county, and state offices. Federal options include U.S. House District 3. County offices listed include Commissioner A, Commissioner B, Treasurer, Attorney, Clerk/Auditor, Recorder, and Sheriff. State-level contests feature State House District 67 and State School Board District 14.

Voters will also decide on several judicial retention questions. These include the retention of Jill M. Pohlman for the Utah Supreme Court, as well as Michele M. Christiansen Forster, David Ned Mortensen, John David Luthy, Ryan M. Harris, Amy Jo Oliver, and Gregory Keith Orme for the Utah Court of Appeals. Additionally, the ballot asks regarding the retention of Craig Miles Bunnell for the Seventh Juvenile Court District and Jon R. Carpenter for the Emery County Justice Court.

Two constitutional amendments are proposed on the ballot. Amendment A would change how proposed constitutional amendments are published, requiring them to be posted on the Utah Public Notice Website and the Lieutenant Governor's website for 60 days before the election. Amendment B would require that citizen-proposed laws increasing taxes be approved by at least 60% of voters rather than a simple majority.
