Utah voters will become legislators in the Nov. 6 general election — deciding whether to allow medical marijuana, expand Medicare, cement recent changes in how candidates qualify for the ballot, and try to stop gerrymandering.
Supporters of four initiatives on those issues say they each gathered at least the 113,143 signatures needed to qualify for the ballot — and from 26 of the state’s 29 Senate districts as required — as the deadline to submit them hit Monday.
The magic number of 113,143 is equal to 10 percent of the votes cast statewide in the last presidential election.
