Utah’s Civic Ascent: A Voting & Democracy Summit

Join us for a one-day summit designed to help Utahns take a more active role in shaping our democracy. This event will ground you in the current state of voting rights in Utah and show you how every eligible voter can directly influence the systems that impact our lives. That's what we mean by participatory democracy—communities where everyone has the power, tools, and access to take part.
