The Utah Civics Project
Creating a more informed and representative Utah through bite-sized, nonpartisan civics lessons. Join the conversation!
The people who show up make all the difference.
Most Americans think only about civics and voting during the "big" moments, like a presidential election.
In reality, decisions made in local civic meetings—from your local PTA to city planning to your county commission—make an even bigger impact on your everyday life. (Please vote, too!)
Learn more about Utah civics and how you can get involved.
