Prop 4 at the Crossroads: Signatures In, Now What?
Utah GOP leaders say they’ve submitted well over 200,000 signatures—enough to put a repeal of Proposition 4 on the November ballot.

The effort must also meet district‑level thresholds, while some voters have requested to have their names removed. What happens next will determine whether Utah’s anti‑gerrymandering law returns to voters. Taylor Morgan, Partner at Morgan May Affairs and Executive Director of Count My Vote, walks through what's next in the process.
