Ballot Measures
What are ballot measures?
It’s common to feel uncertain about statewide ballot initiatives in the voting booth or on our election ballots, but this can be where the rubber meets for the road in fighting climate change.
Voting on ballot measures, also known as “legislatively referred constitutional amendments” in Utah this year, can be a critical way to protect the environment. These measures, known as a form of “direct democracy” put the public in the decision-making seat, gives voters direct access to the legislative process and the ability to influence public policy.
Citizens can propose, adopt, or reject laws, policies, and taxes through initiatives, referendums and recalls, giving more power to the people and fostering a more informed and involved electorate. Ballot propositions can be submitted by a state legislature, a local government, or by citizens, and are up to the voters to decide.
Why do they matter?
Ballot measures are critical to vote on because they’re an opportunity for your voice to directly impact an outcome for our environment and resources. For example, in 2020, Utah passed a legislatively referred constitutional amendment (Amendment D, Municipal Water Resources Amendment) on municipal water rights and the ability to share water outside of city boundaries while also making sure that fair water rates are charged to everyone.
This year, Utah has four ballot measures. Visit here to learn more about each constitutional amendment, so you can be prepared on election day!
Our priorities: Expanding clean transportation and clean energy commitments in Utah
WRA is advocating for stronger clean energy and clean transportation commitments that will result in a healthier and thriving Utah.
We envision a thriving future for Utah with crisp and clean air, a Great Salt Lake restored to its greatness and the protection of the landscapes, from the red rock desert to Cottonwood powder, that Utahns take great pride in.
We are working to increase Utah’s renewable energy sources and decrease a dependence on coal that harms everyday Utahns’ wallets, health, and the places they love. We’re fighting to make sure the state doesn’t put utility profits over the health of Utahns and continues to increase their infrastructure for clean transportation. Learn more about a clean energy future for Utah.

Note that some counties vote only by mail. Check your registration status at Vote.Utah.gov, or by reaching out directly to your county recorder, to confirm that they have your current address.
