A ballot proposition to create an independent redistricting commission lost its slim lead in an updated vote tally released midday Tuesday.
The new totals, which included an infusion from conservative Utah County, show Proposition 4 losing by 593 votes.
The proposition would call for an independent commission to redraw the state’s political boundaries in its once-per-decade redistricting process.
Vote totals have been updated several times since Election Day as officials continue to tabulate ballots. Before Tuesday, the redistricting measure was ahead by 4,619 votes. More updates are expected throughout the day.
