Ballots were mailed to all active and registered voters in Grand County this week. Voters will be making decisions on federal, state and local races. We checked in with Grand County Clerk Gabriel Woytek on what happens next, and how their office ensures a safe election process. 

Plus, the Weekly News Reel! Doug McMurdo of The Times-Independent discusses local elections, the property tax spike and county grant awards to local businesses. Alison Harford of the Moab Sun News talks election coverage, a recent training from the Children’s Justice Center, the community-supported ‘fun fund’ and a roadshow collecting memories of war.
