Joe Kennedy (D-MA). Why is he touting this endorsement? This is the same Joe Kennedy who: -- has a 100% rating by Planned Parenthood -- votes with Nancy Pelosi 97% of the time -- opposed the tax cut bill -- opposed Gorsuch and Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.

Are You Ready for the Primary Elections? (From the State Republican Party Newsletter)

Are you ready to vote in the Republican Primary Election?

The June 26 Primaries are fast approaching, Mailed Ballots will start hitting  mailboxes in 3 weeks.  

Now is the time to check your current Address and Registration status with either your County Clerk or the State Elections office.  You can follow this link to check and update your information online: https://secure.utah.gov/voterreg/index.html

Next, get to know the Candidates.  We have included many links to Candidate Websites and Social Media accounts.  Debates, Town Halls and other events are happening every day.  Click Here: http://utah.gop/candidates/

Finally, whether you choose to vote by mail, absentee or in-person, Remember to Vote!

On May 3rd, the UTGOP conducted a survey regarding the upcoming Primary Election. 3447 People responded and an overview of the responses is shown below.

To review the complete survey results please follow this link: 

http://utah.gop/2018-primary-election-survey-results/

Q1. Will you vote in the Primary Election? 

The survey started off by asking if people would be likely to vote in the primary election.    

98% of people who participated in this survey say it is likely that they will vote in the upcoming Primary Election. Interestingly, about 8.5% of those who took the survey said they dislike primary elections. This means that at least 6.5% of those who are going to vote in the upcoming primary dislike primary elections. 

Q2. What is your opinion of Primary Elections? 

Some responses people submitted who indicated they liked Primary Elections included; “it helps narrow the list of candidates”, “it helps us to get to learn about the candidates”, and “I like to have a voice in who is running in our party”. People who dislike Primary Elections think that “Primary elections are often decided by who can raise the most money, rather than who is the best candidate”, “delegates are most diligent and capable in choosing the best candidates at convention”, and that “it divides the party and gives the Democrats a chance to win”. More responses in the Full Survey Report.



Q3. Any thoughts or ideas you would like to share that could improve Primary Elections? 

Question 3 asked for suggestions on how we can better improve primary elections those responses are recorded in our longer report online. 

Q4. If your preferred candidate doesn't make it through the Primary, will you support the Party's Nominee in the General Election? 

Q5. What is your preferred method of voting?

Q6. Which method will you use to vote this Primary Election?

 

Questions 5 and 6 asked about voters preferred and actual methods of voting. In question 5, 34% of voters said they prefer to vote in person. While 53% of respondents prefer Mail Ballots, that grows to 58% who say they will use that method this election. 

Q7. What are your preferred methods of learning about candidates and issues? Choose all that apply. 

In Question 7 Respondents were asked to choose their preferred sources of candidate information. The top two selected choices were tied at 22%, for Candidate websites and Town Hall/Meet and Greet Events. Followed by information shared by Family and Friends at 15%. With these three taking a 59% share of total responses, it is clear that the respondents prefer to get their information directly from the Candidates themselves or from family and friends. The remaining choices show how other methods commonly used by nearly all campaigns do not hold as strong an influence over the voters’ opinions. Preferences for Television News and T.V. Ads to learn about Candidates, got 10% collectively. Other options that received low percentages included Campaign Flyers, general internet searches and Social Media. The lowest at 2% was Candidate Billboards and Yard Signs. 

Conclusion: Nearly 100% of those that responded to this survey indicated that they would vote in the upcoming Primary Election, even though one in five dislike Primary Elections. Many diverse responses were received and are available for review on the full posting online. These show a strong and invested interest by the voters to discuss and shape the future of Elections and Politics in Utah.
