Stories from Around the State

Campaign Legal Center represents LWV Utah, MWEG, and bipartisan voters in a hearing on the legality of Utah's Constitutional Amendment D on the ballot.

In a victory for Utah voters, the Utah Supreme Court allowed Utah voters to move forward with their claim that the Legislature illegally gutted a citizen-led anti-gerrymandering initiative.

This opinion was originally published in The Salt Lake Tribune.

Vicki Samuelson from the League of Women Voters of Utah wrote about why it's time to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

The US Supreme Court rejected the dangerous “independent state legislature” theory presented in the Moore v. Harper case from North Carolina, which relates to a similar League case in Utah.

Further, since the Dobbs decision reversing the right to abortion, numerous state governments have introduced legislation directly or indirectly related to reproductive rights, challenging doctrines of US democracy. 

This story was originally published by The City Journals.

Many voters have paged through a booklet of candidates and chances are, it came from the League of Women Voters. Perhaps a great number of voters also signed up to vote with the help of one of the League’s volunteers.
