Utah leaders urge citizens to take charge of voting
In a recent government meeting, Utah's Lieutenant Governor emphasized the importance of voter participation and trust in the electoral process as the state approaches the upcoming elections. He urged Utahns to take three specific actions to ensure the integrity of their votes and the election system.

First, he called on citizens to \"doubt the doubters\" and to critically assess the motivations behind those spreading rumors that could undermine public confidence in elections. He stressed the importance of not participating in the dissemination of unfounded accusations that could erode trust in the electoral process.

Second, the Lieutenant Governor encouraged voters to commit to accepting the election results, regardless of personal preferences. He reminded attendees that every election has winners and losers, and that the democratic process will continue beyond the upcoming November elections.

Lastly, he urged citizens to take responsibility for their own ballots. With ballots set to be mailed to active registered voters on October 15, he encouraged individuals to visit vote.utah.gov to update their information, learn about the ballot contents, and sign up for notifications regarding their ballots.

During a Q&A session, he addressed concerns from students about the significance of the upcoming election, asserting that every election is crucial and that participation is key to shaping the will of the people. He highlighted the numerous important races on the ballot, including congressional seats and state offices, urging students to engage in the voting process even if they are dissatisfied with the candidates.

The Lieutenant Governor concluded by reinforcing the idea that voting is not only a right but a responsibility, and he expressed his commitment to ensuring that every vote counts accurately.
