Utah redistricting initiative to repeal Proposition 4 will not be on the ballot after voters withdraw their signatures
A Utah initiative to repeal Proposition 4, which created the state's Independent Redistricting Commission, will not be on the ballot this year. While supporters originally submitted more than 200,000 signatures, and the lieutenant governor verified more than 160,000 of them, enough voters requested that their signatures be removed from the petition to ultimately disqualify the initiative.
The initiative's sponsors needed to submit a number of signatures meeting two criteria to put it on the ballot:
- A total number equal to 8% of the state's active voters, or 140,748.
- 8% of active voters in each of 26 of Utah's 29 Senate districts
The number of verified signatures still meets the required threshold. But while supporters originally met the 8% requirement in 26 Senate districts, voters in Senate District 15 have removed enough signatures to drop below the district requirement.
