Take Action
How can you help secure our elections, restore public confidence,
and begin healing our nation?
Here’s a start…
Most of these suggestions take less than a minute of your time.
1.Sign our online Petition. If you prefer a hard copy, then print and sign our Petition and mail to: Southern Utahns for Transparency; 782 S. River Rd. #88; St. George, UT 84790. When we have enough petitions, they’ll be presented to county officials.
2. Ask others to sign the Petition: Share this website via social media, emails, texts, etc; or make hard copies of the Petition above and get them to neighbors, co-workers, friends, family, etc.
3. Learn more at these events: Don’t miss “Restoring Trust in Elections”. For details and a flyer to print or share online , click here.
4. Attend your city council meetings, along with Washington County Commission meetings.
Find out when your city council meets, and consider giving public comment calling for hand-counted ballots. [Do the same for Washington County Commission meetings. Mark your calendar for the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month in County Chambers (111 E. Tabernacle; St George, Top Floor). Public comment likely starts at 3:30pm, but call to confirm the latest changes: 435-634-5700.
