How this guide is made

amendments

The Legislature can propose changes to the Utah Constitution with a two-thirds vote of each chamber. Voters then decide. The Lieutenant Governor's Voter Information Pamphlet has the full text, an impartial analysis, and arguments for and against. The ballot wording of each amendment is copied word for word from the Lieutenant Governor's Amended 2026 General Election Certification (September 21, 2026), page 23.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the 2026 General Election certified candidate list ↗, in the order printed on the Lieutenant Governor's certified list, with names as they appear on the ballot. Where a candidate lives comes from the Board's April 2026 candidate filing book. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.
