Abstract

In 2016, the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) released a research snapshot called “Voting and Civic Engagement Among Utah Women.”1 At the time, despite having a strong history of women’s political and civic involvement, Utah had fallen to the bottom of national rankings in terms of women’s political participation.2 In 2019 and 2021, UWLP released updates of this report, which showed some improvement in voter participation rates for both the United States (US) and for Utah women. Since 2016, the level of political participation among women in Utah and the US has grown, and civic engagement—a critical element of change for municipalities, counties, and states—has remained high.

In line with our past reports, this research snapshot focuses on three key areas:

  1. Women’s voting participation rates in Utah and the US in recent elections, by various demographics;
  2. Utah’s women’s political voice, demonstrated through policy priorities and political engagement; and
  3. Utah women’s civic and community involvement, including volunteer work and associated activities.
