Flood-hit San Juan County voters can request ballots by email until 5 p.m. Tuesday

San Juan County voters who can't get to a polling place or drop box because of flooding can get and return their ballots electronically on Election Day under an emergency declaration Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson issued Monday. ^[1][2][3]

Affected voters who have an email address in their voter record will get an email Tuesday morning. Those who haven't voted and don't get an email can call the county clerk at 385-587-3223, extension 4. Requests close at 5 p.m., and electronic ballots must be submitted by 8 p.m. The state urged voters to call early in the day. ^[1][2]

"We want every eligible voter in San Juan County to be able to cast a ballot if they have not done so already," Henderson said. The accommodation applies only to San Juan County voters who have not yet voted and can't reasonably travel to vote. ^[1][2]

In-person voting continues. Polling places and drop boxes at the Blanding Library, the Montezuma Creek Diné Professional Plaza Building, the Monument Valley Welcome Center, the Navajo Mountain Chapter House and the San Juan County Administration Building in Monticello are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Drop boxes at the Aneth, Mexican Water and Red Mesa chapter houses, the Bluff Community Center and the San Juan Health Spanish Valley Clinic in Moab close at 3 p.m. ^[1][2]
