Utah - Salt Lake County Clerk Election Division
Program Title
Try Before You Vote: Accessible Voter Outreach
Program Summary
Voters with disabilities may feel unable to participate in voting if they dont know what options are available to them. To encourage more election participation, the election division demonstrated how voting machines work at multiple events hosted by or geared toward people with disabilities. At these events, voters received hands-on experience with Salt Lake Countys three accessible voting methods, helping them gain confidence in the process. The outreach allowed voters to ask questions, explore accommodations, and, where applicable, sign up for electronic ballot delivery. By meeting voters where they are, election officials empowered individuals to make informed choices and ensured voters were aware of their options before Election Day.
