Elections 2023

According to the FBI’s annual crime reports, Utah’s violent crime rates have declined to pre-pandemic levels. But the rates in Salt Lake City have seen a much smaller drop than the rest of the state.

This week, thousands of Utah voters cast ballots in races where candidates had no political party affiliation.

The divisive campaign for three open council seats included smear tactics, vandalism and attacks related to St. George’s ongoing drag show controversy.

The incumbent told supporters on election night that the results show voters want a city government that “prioritizes results over politics.”

Nadolski may be winning, but he won’t call himself mayor-elect just yet.

Maloy’s win puts a woman in Utah’s congressional delegation for the first time since 2019. She was chief legal counsel for Rep. Chris Stewart, who resigned in September after a decade in Congress because his wife is ill.

While the debate mostly stuck to the city’s pressing issues like affordable housing and water, it also highlighted the sharp divisions that have formed over cultural topics.

Voters in 12 Utah cities will use ranked choice for some races when they cast their ballots this year.

The city will vote on Nov. 21 if it wants to keep funding new recreation projects the way it has since the 1990s.
