Willard

Elections in Utah are unique in that voters often get the chance to decide policy change by voting on initiatives and referendums during election years. Sometimes these changes result in State Constitutional amendments and this year is no exception. On November 4, voters will decide the fate of three proposed amendments that were passed during the 2014 Legislative Session by a two-thirds majority. Here is a quick rundown of the initiatives.

Amendment A – Utah Qualifications of Tax Commission Members
