Proposition 4, the ballot initiative designed to prevent gerrymandering, built on its slim lead Monday and seems poised for victory as the last votes are counted.
The initiative, which calls for the creation of an independent redistricting commission, was ahead by about 50.3 percent to 49.7 percent after the vote tally was updated. The vote count on the proposition has fluctuated since Election Day, as counties have continued tabulating votes.
Friday closed with Prop 4 up by about 2,900 votes, and by Monday’s end, the initiative was ahead by more than 6,400.
More than 1 million ballots have been counted so far, and county clerks across Utah are expected to release their final numbers Tuesday.
