Utah Association Uses Game Changer Grant to Boost Vote-by-Mail Option Among REALTORS®

This is a big election year all over, but in Utah, the political focus is especially strong, with the Governor running for re-election, a new congressional seat up for grabs, and the state’s ‘adopted son’ running for President. In an effort to make sure REALTORS^® get out and vote, the 11,500-member Utah Association of REALTORS^® received a $15,000 Game-Changer Grant to launch its Vote-by-Mail initiative. Anecdotal evidence suggests that voters who cast ballots by mail appreciate the time it gives them to research the candidates and their platforms and determine which best represents their views, with the ballot right at their fingertips. The Vote-by-Mail program urges the UAR membership to register to vote by mail. Having done so, each member who has registered receives a ballot from the county clerk, fills it out, and returns it by mail or at the polls on Election Day.
