Uintah County has released a Voter Information Pamphlet for Proposition #9, a proposed change in county government, according to a September 21 statement. The proposition, which will appear on the November 3, 2026, General Election ballot, outlines a potential shift in how the county is governed.
The proposed Optional Plan would replace the current three-member commission form of government with a five-member council and an appointed county manager. Clerk-Auditor Mike Wilkins stated that the decision is an important one regarding how Uintah County government would be structured and how authority would be divided. Wilkins encouraged voters to research the proposed plan, ask questions, and read the provided materials to prepare for voting.
The Voter Information Pamphlet, which includes the complete Optional Plan and other educational materials, is available on the Uintah County website at www.uintah.gov. Voters can also visit vote.utah.gov to register to vote, update or confirm registration, track a mailed ballot, and find voting information.
Located in northeastern Utah, Uintah County spans more than 4,400 square miles. The county is dedicated to preserving unique landscapes for generations to come, strengthening community well-being, and fostering sustainable growth.
Voters will decide whether to adopt the proposed plan during the General Election held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
