Getting measures on the ballot

Utah allows denizen initiatives in the course of initiated state statutes and veto referendums. In Utah, initiated state statutes tin be either directly or indirectly initiated. Signature requirements for directly-initiated statutes and referendum petitions are determined past calculating ten percent of the votes cast for president in the state in the terminal election. For indirectly initiated statute petitions, proponents must assemble signatures equal to five percent of the votes cast for president in the state in the last election—a requirement of 56,572 for the 2018 ballot—to get the initiative before state legislators. A second, equal circular of signatures is required if the legislature does not approve the initiative. The deadline to submit the offset round of signatures for an indirect initiated state statute targeting the 2018 election election was November 15, 2017.

For veto referendums and direct initiated state statutes, at least 113,143 valid signatures were required. The deadline to file signatures for the 2018 ballot was Apr 16, 2018, or 316 days after the petition was initially filed with the lieutenant governor, whichever came first.^[ane]

The Utah Legislature can too place legislatively referred ramble amendments and legislatively referred land statutes on the election. The legislature tin can put a proposed amendment on the ballot upon a two-thirds majority vote in both the legislative chambers. The amendment must then be approved by a majority of voters voting in the full general election, not just a majority of voters voting on the amendment.
