Reminder about changes to Voter Privacy Records
Earlier this year, the Utah Legislature passed S.B. 153, which modifies the privacy classification of voter registration records. On May 25, 2026, the records of most voters currently classified as “private” or “withheld” will become public and viewable on the voter registration list, which is available upon request for a fee.
Public voting records include the voter’s full legal name, voter identification number, residential and mailing address, voting precinct and districts, party affiliation, status as an active or inactive voter, the last date the voter’s registration record was updated, and a list of elections in which the voter cast a ballot, not who you voted for.
Personal identifying information such as full date of birth, driver's license number, state identification number, and social security number will remain protected for all voters, and available only to authorized government entities.
Voters may request to be designated as an “at-risk voter” and protect their record if they are, or reside with, a victim or threatened victim of domestic or intimate partner violence, a law enforcement officer, a member of the armed forces, or a public figure who has received threats, or an individual protected by a court order.
UPCOMING DEADLINE: Those who wish to apply for an at-risk classification must meet the qualifications and submit an at-risk designation request form to their county clerk by TOMORROW, Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
Once submitted, forms will be reviewed and processed by local election officials. You will be contacted regarding the status of your request before voter records become public in late May.
As always, if you have any questions, the Summit County Clerk’s Office is here to help at 435-336-3040 or email [email protected].

May 16 - Summer 2026 Community Noxious Weeds Tour!

When? Saturday, May 16, 2026 | 9 AM - 12 PM
Where? Richardson Flat Park & Ride
RSVP (for free): summitcounty.info/weedstour26
Join us for a guided tour through the basin and get an up-close look at the noxious weeds impacting our local landscape. Along the way, Summit County’s noxious weeds experts, including our Weeds Superintendent, Dave, and Weeds Enforcement Officer, Dan, will share how to identify these invasive species and the most effective ways to control them with practical tips you can use at home!
Because noxious weeds don’t stop at property lines, managing them takes a community-wide effort. This tour is a fun, hands-on opportunity to learn more, connect with neighbors, and become part of the solution.
