Utah Publication Requirements for Constitutional Amendments Measure (2026)

November 3, 2026 · Utah · Statewide

Vote impact: High
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: Average · 58 out of 100

This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 3,392,331 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 3,392,331) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 58.16, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Ballot measure: +1 step

Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.

Average representation + a ballot-measure boost → High vote impact.

Ballot Measure

This amendment (House Joint Resolution 10, 2025) would remove the requirement that proposed constitutional amendments be published in a newspaper in every county, letting the Legislature set the publication method, and require publication for the 60 days before the general election.

A YES vote means

A YES vote lets the Legislature decide how and where proposed amendments are published (for 60 days pre-election) instead of requiring newspaper publication in each county.

A NO vote means

A NO vote keeps the current requirement that amendments be published in a newspaper in each county.
