How Do I Vote in Iron County in 2026? Quick Answer
Iron County mails a ballot to every eligible registered voter, and the official notice says ballots began going out October 13, 2026. Voters in Cedar City and the rest of the county can return a ballot at any of eight drop boxes, vote early in person at the Iron County Courthouse in Parowan from October 27 to 30, or vote in person on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, at one of three vote centers, including Festival Hall, 96 N.

Registration and Absentee Deadlines
The notice sets Friday, October 23, at 5 p.m. as the last day to register by mail, in person or electronically. Voters can check their registration and view their own sample ballot at vote.utah.gov. If a voter re-registered at a new address by the deadline, the clerk will mail the ballot to the new address.
The clerk's website adds two points. A registered voter has until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27, to apply for an absentee ballot. And a voter who is eligible but not registered can still vote a provisional ballot in person on Election Day.
