Senator John McCain speaks to the senate July 2017

Senator John McCain returned to the Senate Floor after being diagnosed with brain cancer to deliver an important message, about how our government should work.

This is not exactly local, but I felt like it ought to be shared.



2017 update

For the 2017 election cycle, we do not anticipate being able to provide much information here. If you have the time or resources to be able to help us share useful information, please feel free to contact us, but for now, we don't anticipate frequent posts or complete coverage of many elections.

General Candidate information

To find out who is on your ballot visit https://vote.utah.gov
This will give you a great overview of those who are on your ballot.
(You can also use the Utah voter information pamphlet (which is digital only this year)
https://elections.utah.gov/Media/Default/2016%20Election/Voter%20Information%20Pamphlet%20Full%203.1.pdf).

To find out more about who is on your ballot, check out our pages below,

Or you can do a Google search for "Who's on my ballot?" Google will give you good general information about who the candidates are and what issues are on the ballot. Also you can click on any candidate and it will pull up a good collection of internet references to each candidate, include their websites, social media accounts, and news articles that mention them.

The league of women voters also asked candidates in some races some questions.
See the questions, and their answers at their website.

2016 primary election results

Results from this years primary election can be found at:
http://electionresults.utah.gov/

As many counties used vote by mail this year, many of the results will not be finalized until July 12. current results likely indicate who will win the race, but until the election results have been finalized, anything could theoretically happen.
Here is the note from electionresults.utah.gov about this:
The results displayed on this website are not final results, but are posted as a service to the public. Final Primary Election results will be certified by each county by July 12 and by the Lieutenant Governor on July 26.
Because the majority of voters now vote by mail, counties do not count all votes on election night. By mail ballots postmarked on time and received after the election are not included in the election night results but are included in later releases. Provisional ballots are also checked and counted during the two week period following the election.
Beginning in 2016, counties will release results after election night.  After the Primary Election, this website will be updated between 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on:

Friday, July 1
Tuesday, July 5
Friday, July 8
Tuesday, July 12

State School Board 2016

State School Board


The best resource available so far is from the Sutherland Institute. They sent a questionnaire to each of the candidates and they have posted the responses they have received thus far. The candidates are not sorted by district, but there is a nice index at the top of the page.
The information they have compiled can be found HERE:

The United Way has put together a handy contact guide for this years election.
You  can find it HERE. We have a few different resources (and quite a few similar ones) that we have gathered listed below. A survey was also sent out by Utah for Local Education. This group clearly has strong feelings about the type of candidate they would like to see elected, but their survey questions are not particularly biased. Their survey can be seen HERE (not all candidates responded).

UAPCS in partnership with KSL, Hinkley Institute, and Sutherland Institute, is hosting a series of State School Board debates.
Information about those can be found here, and here. We will post links to the debates after they are finished. (District 10 will be June 22)
