Utah is one of the slowest states at delivering election results. Lawmakers want to change that
The governor and Republican leaders in the House and Senate haven’t come to an agreement yet on how to change the state’s vote-by-mail system.
But they all agree the state needs to speed up election results.
In December, Gov. Spencer Cox said the state needs to change its process so results are announced on election night.
“It should not take us two weeks to get answers in most of our races,” Cox said.
On Monday, Senate President Stuart Adams, R-Layton, called this a “high priority” and House Speaker Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, called it “critical” to election confidence.
