Voter Tools

We want everyone on campus to be involved in democracy to the best of their ability, but we realize it can seem daunting. Check out these voter tools and initiatives to see how you can do your part by being informed, voting, and staying educated about the current political landscape.

Register to Vote

The Utah elections website is a one-stop-shop for information on your voter registration, candidate information, requesting a mail-in ballot and election results. You can learn how to register to vote, as well as find information on topics like ID requirements, contacting your county officials, and more. Register to vote and learn how to vote. 

Weber State Votes course

With an Ask Every Student grant, the Weber State Votes created a course that teaches you why voting matters. Please enroll, then submit a screenshot to walkerinstitute@weber.edu when you have completed it and earned all of the badges.

Running for Office

Interested in running for office? Great! You can find the necessary forms and information on the state voting website.

How to Vote (not who or what to vote for)

Go straight to the source for local election, registration and voting information at the Weber County Elections or Davis County Elections websites.

If you do not want to mail your ballot, you can place it in any secure ballot location; view a map of all the ballot boxes across Weber and Davis counties, created by Weber State Professor Michael Hernandez.

If there are any issues with your voting, learn how to report your issue. Learn where to return your ballot. Remember we have a ballot box on campus just west of the Library.

If your plans for voting have changed, learn what to do when that happens. Or you can email Leah Murray at lmurray@weber.edu and she will help you figure out what to do with your ballot.

If you are not sure overall, learn how to get to the polls.

National Election Info

Vote Smart is a national, bipartisan election source that allows voters to find information for themselves on any issue or politician. It was rated as least biased by a Media Bias Factcheck.
