Ballot measures

Constitutional Amendment A

This amendment changes how proposed constitutional amendments are published. Instead of being printed in newspapers, they would be published for the 60 days right before the general election in a way set by state law.

Yes: A FOR vote removes the newspaper publication requirement from the constitution. State law would then have the Lieutenant Governor post the full text of proposed amendments and other ballot questions from the Legislature on the Utah Public Notice Website and the Lieutenant Governor's website for the 60 days before the general election.
No: An AGAINST vote keeps the constitution's current requirement that proposed constitutional amendments be published in newspapers before the election.

Constitutional Amendment B

This amendment would require citizen-proposed laws (initiatives) that raise taxes compared to current law to win at least 60% of the vote, instead of a simple majority.

Yes: A FOR vote means a citizen initiative voted on after November 1, 2026 that creates a new tax, expands or raises an existing tax, or makes a property tax rate go down less than it would under current law would need at least 60% voter approval to pass.
No: An AGAINST vote keeps the current rule: a citizen initiative passes with a simple majority of the votes cast on it, including initiatives that raise taxes.
