List of Utah ballot initiatives
From Ballotpedia
This list of Utah ballot initiatives includes only those statewide ballot measures that appeared on the Utah ballot through the initiative process of collecting signatures on petitions; veto referendum measures are included because they require the collection of signatures. Although Utahns approved I&R in 1900, implementation delays and restrictive ballot access laws meant that no initiative made the ballot until 1952. From 1952-2007, there have been twenty initiated measures on the Utah ballot, and only four of these have passed.
See Utah ballot measures for a list of all statewide ballot propositions in Utah, including legislative referrals.
