Utah voters will not have the opportunity to decide on a constitutional amendment regarding ballot measures this November, as the Utah Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision voiding the amendment. The proposed amendment, known as Amendment D, sought to give lawmakers the power to alter or repeal voter-approved ballot measures.
The high court ruled that the ballot question was presented in a misleading manner, with a summary that did not accurately convey the extent of power that would be transferred to state lawmakers. The justices agreed with the district judge's ruling that the ballot question language was 'counterfactual' and failed to disclose the full implications to voters.
