Here we go again. Now that we have the September municipal primaries put to bed, it's time to get ready for the November general election.

Those living in Erda, Lincoln, Lake Point, Dugway, Ibapah, Terra -- in fact all of the unincorporated areas -- will only be voting on the school voucher referendum. Anyone living within the incorporated areas of the county -- Tooele City, Grantsville City, Stockton, Vernon, Rush Valley, Ophir or Wendover -- will be voting to fill council positions, as well as voting on the voucher referendum. Stansbury Park residents will also be voting on positions open in the Improvement and Recreation Service Districts.

In the November election, as well as every county election from now on, there will be early voting days. Beginning on Oct. 23 and ending on Nov. 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., you can go to any of the following locations and vote early. Anyone already registered within the county can go to any of the early voting locations and do so. Obviously, if you vote early, you cannot vote on election day.

Early voting locations include: Tooele County Courthouse, 47 S. Main St., third floor; Grantsville City Hall, 429 E. Main St.; and Stansbury Park Elementary, 485 Country Club Drive.

Besides early voting locations, we have a number of by-mail precincts, which means that these voters don't even have to worry about going to the polls. They are sent a vote-by-mail ballot directly to their home about two weeks before the election. They fill in the circles for the candidates they want and put the ballot back in the mail. Anyone can vote by mail -- also known as absentee voting. You don't have to be out of town or have a specific reason for voting by mail. Just fill out a vote-by-mail form and we'll put you on the list. At the beginning of every calendar year you will receive a letter telling you what elections will be run that year and asking what ones you want to vote in by mail and what address to send your ballot to. After that you sit back and wait for the ballot to come.

Registering to vote can still be done in person at the Clerk's Office. Until Oct. 22, you may come to the Clerk's Office, third floor of the Tooele County Courthouse, room 318. You must come in person with a photo ID to be able to register. You will then be able to vote in the November election. You will not, however, be able to vote early.

Also, just a reminder that in the spring we did some redistricting. State law only allows 1,250 voters per precinct, therefore some changes have been made. New voter information cards were sent to all of those voters whose precincts have been changed. If you have any questions about where you vote, please contact the Clerk's Office at 843-3140, or go to our Web site at www.co.tooele.ut.us/clerk.htm. Go to the "To check your voter registration and find your polling location" link.

As always, if you have any questions concerning voting, registering to vote, etc., please feel free to call.

Marilyn K. Gillette is the Tooele County clerk.
