SALT LAKE CITY — A recent Utah Supreme Court ruling on citizen ballot initiatives could significantly bolster a new group's plans to get a question before voters that could upend state politics."In Utah, if you’re an independent voter? You are excluded from a decision in 81% of legislative races," Barbara Stallone, People 4 Utah's executive director, said in an interview with FOX 13 News on Friday.
"What we’re looking to do is re-enfranchise the almost 600,000 unaffiliated voters in Utah," Stallone said. United Utah Party Chair Ladd Johnson said he likes the idea, but disagrees with the concept of only the top two candidates advancing. Instead, he said he would prefer the top three or four candidates going to the November ballot.Stallone said the top two candidates is an idea right now, and the initiative is still being worked on. The group hopes to launch signature gathering in early 2025.
"We don't have a position on open primaries, but we support one person, one vote," said Katharine Biele, the president of the League of Women Voters of Utah. "At Count My Vote, we don’t necessarily think that’s the best fit for Utah’s elections, especially given that the dual path process is working so well," said Taylor Morgan."Now, it’s not perfect. There are some improvements we need to make."
Stallone said People 4 Utah is moving ahead with taking the open primary concept to voters across the state.
