Utahns will be voting on medical marijuana and Medicaid expansion — but not Utah’s candidate nominating law, says top election official

Utahns will be voting on whether to legalize medical marijuana, according to Utah’s lieutenant governor, the state’s top election official.

Meantime, the Count My Vote effort to reaffirm Utah’s signature-gathering law for candidates faltered after a well-financed campaign to peel off signatures in targeted areas, according to Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox.

Among other results tweeted out by Cox on Tuesday: Utahns will vote on whether to expand Medicaid to cover another 70,000 low-income residents, and they will decide whether to create an independent commission to recommend political voting boundaries.
