Until now, Utahns had to … make an appointment, travel in person to the capital, or mail their sensitive documents to my office to obtain their apostilles.

We’re really proud to be the very first state to do it.

This temporary restraining order gives our state and county election officials the ability to move forward with the 2026 midterm elections as planned.

I assure all Utah voters that they will be defended. We will run a secure election in accordance with state and federal law.
