Utah Supreme Court Unanimously Voids Amendment D from November Ballot

Sep 25, 2024, 11:37 PM

The Utah Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's decision to void Amendment D from the November ballot. The amendment, which sought to empower the Legislature to repeal or amend any voter-approved ballot measure, was deemed misleading and failed to comply with the state's constitutional publication requirements. The decision was unanimous, affirming that the amendment did not meet the necessary constitutional prerequisites. The ruling came after extensive oral arguments and deliberations on Wednesday night, with the justices concluding that the injunction issued by Judge Gibson was appropriate.
