SALT LAKE CITY (January 15, 2025) – Today, Sutherland Institute released new survey data highlighting Utah voters’ perspectives on possible election reforms.
Highlights from the Sutherland/Y2 Analytics survey data:
- 74% of Utah voters prefer to have the person overseeing elections be elected by voters, rather than appointed by elected officials.
- Requiring photo ID when mailing in ballots would significantly boost voter confidence in election integrity, while eliminating early voting and requiring ballots to be cast only on Election Day would significantly decrease voter confidence.
- 87% of Utah voters are confident that ballots in Utah are counted accurately, while 69% are confident that ballots in the United States as a whole are counted accurately.
