Feb 20 update for Utah Eliminate the Independent Redistricting Commission Initiative (2026)
I found on this page they just print the names of all the people that signed for this initiative. I found it interesting that they really ramped up the number of signatures so I thought I'd take a look at the data they do provide. All data sourced from https://vote.utah.gov/repeal-of-the-independent-redistricting-commission-and-standards-act-direct-initiative-list-of-signers/
Below is some details of comparing the 2/19 signature list to the 2/20
Net Change: +9,321 records (107,793 → 117,114)
| Category | Count |
|---|---|
| Records Added | 9,781 |
| Records Removed | 460 |
| Records Modified | 3 |
| Unchanged | 107,333 |
Notable findings:
- All 9,781 added records share a single entry date of 2/19/2026 — one batch submission dated today.
- 460 removals are spread across 41 different dates going back to December 2025, suggesting these were flagged/invalidated over time rather than all at once. District 29 had the heaviest removals (82), followed by District 27 (43) and District 24 (25).
- 3 records were modified — same Voter ID exists in both files but with a changed field (Name, District, or Date).
