A pair of initiatives intended to create independent ethics and redistricting commissions won’t appear on the ballot this fall. The lieutenant governor’s office said Tuesday that neither initiative gathered the required number of signatures to be placed before voters.
Citizens initiatives would be much easier to keep off the ballot under a measure the Utah Senate gave its initial approval to Tuesday. Senators voted 22-7 to make it easier for Utahns who change their minds to remove their names from petitions in support of a statewide initiative or referendum.
