Initiative process availability[edit]

See also: Laws governing local ballot measures in Utah
  • The initiative and referendum process is mandated and established by state law for all general law cities and towns.
  • The ability to amend municipal charters is established by state law.
  • There is no mention of powers of Initiative and Referendum ordinances in chartered municipalities or counties. There are no charter counties in Utah and there is only one charter city. The only charter city is Tooele City and it has Initiative and Referendum powers explicitly in its charter. The procedures and requirements are very similar to those of general law cities.[2]
