Utah Bill Introduces Major Election Changes

(Salt Lake City, UT) — A bill passed by the Utah House yesterday proposes key changes to the state’s election system. Starting in 2028, voters would need to opt-in to receive mail-in ballots. The bill also requires voters to provide the last four digits of their ID or license number, introduces voter ID requirements, and eliminates the postmark deadline for mailed ballots. Opponents argue the bill could create barriers for vulnerable populations, including seniors and people with disabilities. The bill now heads to the Senate.
