While Suncrest feels like one community—it has one Mormon church and one restaurant—it’s divided into two counties: Salt Lake and Utah.
Suncrest’s Salt Lake County residents showed up to vote at a rate nearly 18 percentage points higher than their Utah County counterparts.
Whereas Utah County voted the old-fashioned way, Salt Lake County switched to conducting its election entirely by mail.
In 2012, he introduced a bill to give Utah counties the option to run all-mail elections.
The cities and counties that used vote at home in their 2015 municipal elections increased their voter turnout average by 39%.
