Heritage Foundation Ranks Utah 35 of 50 in Election Security. Read the results of an in-depth election analysis conducted by the Heritage Foundation on the security of our elections in Utah, based on the laws. Utah has a long way to go, most especially due to our use of universal mail-in ballots. Absentee ballots should always be available for those who need them. But making primarily in-person elections illegal is wrong. Utah should restore the OPTION of conducting in-person elections instead of making cities and counties who would like that level of transparency and citizen verification guilty of a crime.

The report indicated several areas where election security could be improved. Utah Election Integrity encourages our Utah legislators to continue to focus on improving our elections.
