    estimate
    Polls are open from 7 a.m. and "shall remain open until 8 p.m." (Utah Code § 20A-1-302); Utah is on Mountain time, so polls close at 8:00 PM MST = 03:00 UTC on 4 Nov. Utah votes mainly by mail: a mailed ballot "must be received by the election officer on or before 8 p.m. on election day", and drop-box and in-person ballots must be deposited before 8 p.m. (§ 20A-3a-204(3), as amended effective 7 May 2025; the LG's 2026 Election Calendar repeats that ballots must be received by 8 PM on election day). Counties post unofficial results on electionresults.utah.gov after polls close. The window closes at 7:00 AM MST on 4 Nov: an estimate of when the first overnight count is in, not a published time. Mail and drop-box ballots returned on election day, and provisional ballots, are counted in later updates up to the county canvass, so the unofficial totals keep moving for days; no 2022 data point for the end of the election-night count was found. Races: the LG's 2026 General Election Certification (28 Aug 2026) lists U.S. House Districts 1–4 as the only federal offices on the ballot (no U.S. Senate or Governor race in 2026); the districts are the court-ordered 2026 map, with District 1 described as "a portion of Salt Lake County". The map was adopted by the Third District Court on 10 Nov 2025 in League of Women Voters of Utah v. Utah State Legislature (order not read here; press and case trackers are the leads).

    County canvass. The board of county canvassers meets "at a date and time determined by the county clerk that is no sooner than seven calendar days after the day of the election and no later than 14 calendar days after the day of the election" (Utah Code § 20A-4-301(1)(b)) — between Tuesday 10 Nov and Tuesday 17 Nov 2026 — and certifies the vote totals for multi-county and statewide races and transmits them to the Lieutenant Governor (§ 20A-4-304(1)(d)). Each county sets its own date inside that range, so the window spans all of it and closes at the end of 17 Nov, Mountain time. The LG's 2026 Election Calendar marks the first and last days a board of canvassers can canvass the general election.

    State canvass: the state board of canvassers (state auditor, state treasurer and attorney general) "shall convene ... on the fourth Monday of November, at noon" (Utah Code § 20A-4-306(1)(a)(i)) — Monday 23 Nov 2026, listed as the "2026 General Election Statewide Canvass" in the LG's 2026 Election Calendar — and the Lieutenant Governor files the report and issues certificates of election (§ 20A-4-306(2)). The window opens at noon MST (19:00 UTC) and closes at the end of that day, Mountain time. Precedent: the State Board of Canvassers certified that it met "at noon on Monday, November 28, 2022" for the 2022 general election, the statutory day (LG's signed 2022 General Election State Canvass Certification). A losing candidate may request a recount if the margin is not more than 0.25% of the votes cast in the race, filed with the Lieutenant Governor for a multi-county race by 5 p.m. on the first business day at least three calendar days after the canvass is completed; the recount must be done within seven calendar days of the request (§ 20A-4-401(3)–(5)). A registered voter may file an election contest in district court within 40 days after the canvass concludes (§ 20A-4-403(1)(a)).
