In 2018 the Utah State Legislature passed HB 35 nearly unanimously to create a Ranked Choice Voting pilot program for Utah municipalities. Ranked Choice Voting has been adopted in 11 cities around the country and is shown to reduce the costs of elections for cities and candidates, increase voter turnout and improve civility of elections. Six Utah cities have now adopted Ranked Choice Voting to improve elections in municipalities during the 2019 election cycle!
Cottonwood Heights, West Jordan, Lehi, Payson, Salem, and Vineyard opted in to the Ranked Choice Voting pilot program for 2019 municipal elections. Show support for these pioneering cities and their decision to pave the way for Ranked Choice Voting in cities around the country!
