previous address by completing the portion of the form requesting "Name and Address on Last Voter Registration."
What if I'm a student in Utah
and plan to return to my home state upon graduation?

will give up their home state residency. Students planning to return
to their home state after completing their studies in Utah may consider
voting absentee in their home state as an alternative to registering

No. Declaring a political party is optional.

if I have already declared a party?
If you want to change political parties,
you can fill out another voter registration form declaring the new
party.
If I submit a voter registration
form, how will I know if I am registered?
Your county clerk will mail you a confirmation
