Spencer Hadley, Deputy Office Administrator for the Lt. Governor’s Office, visits Studio 5 to discuss vote.utah.gov, a website dedicated to all things voting!
• The new State of Utah voter education website is at VOTE.UTAH.GOV
• The site is a one-stop source for all things vote. It provides everything a Utah voter needs to know about issues, candidates and what’s going to be on the ballot for the general election, Nov. 2, 2010.
• VOTE.UTAH.GOV was developed and is overseen by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Greg Bell. The Lt. Governor’s office is charged with overseeing elections throughout the state of Utah.
• The new site consolidates services and features in one convenient location on the web. It’s taking the place of a couple of former Utah vote websites, plus offering new features and services for Utah voters wanting to make informed choices.
• The site launched for the public on Sept. 16, 2010.
• Among the new or improved features:
-A link to the state’s new online voter registration service. Now you can REGISTER TO VOTE ONLINE.
-An option to register at VOTE.UTAH.GOV for information specific to you – including your polling location, what’s on your individual ballot, and more.
-Information on current elected officials and office-holders.
-A SAMPLE BALLOT, specific for you if you register, for review prior to voting.
-The OPTION to sign-up for TEXT and E-MAIL reminders on early voting and other information. If you register, you’ll be sent a TEXT 24 hours in advance of Election Day with your specific polling location and the hours it will be open.
-EARLY VOTING information. Many Utahns like to vote early. A page on the site lists all the EARLY VOTING locations throughout Utah. THIS YEAR, EARLY VOTING BEGINS ON Oct. 19th and ends on Oct. 29th at 5 p.m.
-During the Early Voting window, VOTE.UTAH.GOV will offer electronically updated wait times at all early voting locations. This will help people plan their day and make things easier.
