Carbon County voters will elect county officers whose terms expire in 2026, which typically includes some county commission seats and other constitutional officers depending on the election cycle. State legislative district boundaries for the town fall within Carbon County's designated House and Senate districts. Voters can request absentee ballots through the Carbon County Clerk by mail, in person, or online through the state absentee ballot request portal. Applications must be received by the Friday before election day, though voted ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. On election day to be counted.
