SALT LAKE CITY — Utahns turned out in massive numbers to vote in the 2020 election, according to data released by Governor-elect Spencer Cox and the state elections office.
The Board of Canvassers met on Monday to certify the results of the election. But Lt. Governor (and now Governor-elect) Cox reported a figure that was jaw-dropping: over 90% turnout among active, registered voters across the state. It's an all-time high.
We are about to certify the final election results for the state and WOW! Utah, you showed up this year. Here or some fun details. This is the highest turnout we have on record.
