Election officials in Weber and Salt Lake Counties, Utah, completed final preparations ahead of Tuesday's Election Day. Weber County Clerk Ricky Hatch reported about 38% of registered voters had already cast ballots, with turnout expected to reach roughly 65%, or about 90,000 voters. Security measures include overnight bomb-dog sweeps, perimeter cameras, and a private, isolated network for voting equipment to guard against hacking. In Salt Lake County, Clerk Lannie Chapman said about 40% of voters had cast ballots, with another 30% expected Tuesday. Officials are verifying mail-in ballot signatures and giving voters a chance to correct discrepancies. Federal election monitors are also expected at Salt Lake County polling sites.
