ACLU: Some Utah county clerks need to step up their game to be ready for Election Day registration

On Nov. 6, Utahns will be able to walk into polling places across the state and exercise a same-day registration option created earlier this year to clear away barriers to voting.

But the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah is worried that not all elections officials are prepared for the new provision.

The civil rights advocacy group Thursday called on Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox and the state elections office to make sure that all county clerks offices are up to speed on the Election Day registration provision passed by the Legislature as part of a larger a package of voting reforms.
