Historical facts[edit]

  • Between 1996 and 2013, an average of four measures appeared annually on the ballot in Utah. Therefore, 2014 was a below-average year, based on the number of certified measures.
  • From 1996 to 2014, the number of measures on statewide ballots ranged from one to seven.
  • Between 1996 and 2014, 39 of 45, or 85 percent, of Utah ballot measures have been approved by voters; therefore, 2014 was a highly unusual year with its approval rate of only 33 percent.
  • Conversely, seven of 45, or 15 percent, of measures have been defeated since 1996.
