PROTECT UTAH’S CONSTITUTION
Vote No on Amendment B
ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 3
In Utah, ballot initiatives are a constitutional check on politicians when government stops listening. Amendment B makes an unnecessary, permanent change, and it takes power away from citizens and gives politicians more control over the rules. The Constitution is the backbone of Utah, and we should only change it when absolutely necessary.
Don’t let Salt Lake insiders rewrite the Constitution to give themselves more control and make it harder for ordinary Utahns to push back.
This November, join us in voting NO on Amendment B.
Frequently Asked Questions
