Various cities and towns across Utah will be voting in Tuesday’s primary election for mayoral spots and city council posts, among others that are on the ballot this year.

The filing period for most of the positions ended June 6, providing voters an initial glimpse at potential future leadership. Still, there’s plenty of time to get to know the hopefuls — primary voting, if necessary to narrow the list of candidates, culminates on Tuesday, with general election voting ending on Nov. 4.

Four Salt Lake County cities will be using ranked-choice voting — Salt Lake City, Millcreek, Midvale and South Salt Lake — and the filing period for those goes from Aug. 12-19. The ranked-choice voting process eliminates the need for a primary, and the varied candidates under the alternative system go directly to the general election ballot.

Numerous posts on school boards and special districts across Utah will also be on the ballot this cycle, including school board seats for the three new school districts in Utah County in anticipation of the upcoming voter-approved split of the Alpine School District.

Here’s a look at some of the municipal races this year in selected Utah counties that are on the primary ballot.
