Overview
- With less than two weeks remaining, the repeal effort is about 75,000 signatures short of the roughly 140,000 needed to qualify for the November ballot.
- Clerk Aaron Davidson says at least 27 signature packets have been discarded and at least seven paid gatherers have been identified in what he called potential felony conduct.
- University of Utah students reported petition pitches using vague language that led some to believe the effort opposed gerrymandering rather than repealed Proposition 4.
- A voter reported a voicemail claiming to be from the clerk about a mismatched petition signature, and Davidson said some entries appear to use fabricated names and addresses.
- A House committee advanced HB32 to require training for signature gatherers, permit plain‑language explanations and QR codes on packets, and notify voters by text and email when their signatures are submitted.
