The chart compares Registered Voters, Ballots Cast, and % Voter Turnout between the 2018 and 2022 elections in Salt Lake County.
Redistricting occurred in 2021 so precinct boundaries have changed from 2018 to 2022. To compare election results by precinct between 2018 and 2022 is not achievable with the available data, so precinct groupings were created based on city or census designated place precinct prefixes. For example, all of the Magna precincts were grouped into MAG. Magna is an example of one area with boundaries that haven’t really changed.
Despite the groupings, there will still be boundary issues, so we aren’t comparing exactly the same geographic areas. If any grouping looks interesting it should be studied more closely to get better alignment with the analogous 2018 equivalent precincts.
Salt Lake City has been split into westside and eastside with the I-15 as the divider. GSL (Greater Salt Lake) was added to the westside. EMG (Emigration Canyon) and PCN (Parley’s Canyon) were added to the eastside. The precincts along the southeast border of Salt Lake City touch South Salt Lake (SSL) and Millcreek (MIL) and the boundaries between them do show some change.
These adjustments and others are mentioned in the red data footnotes.
Voter turnout was 81.9% in 2018 and 64.9% in 2022. Percent decrease is calculated as (2018 % Turnout - 2022 % Turnout) / 2018 % Turnout.
