Show Voter Turnout Contest Among Utah Counties Utah County has been challenged by Governor Calvin Hampton to a "Voter Turnout" Contest among the 29 counties in the state. The Utah County Commission has accepted this challenge, and in turn has requested that each city and school district take up the challenge with them. It has been suggested that a contest among the 16 incorpor- ated communities in the county be initiated to determine which city has the greatest voter turnout in the November election. A similar competition has been suggested for the three school districts in the county. The community and school district with the greatest precentage of eligible voters turning out for the General Election will be awarded traveling trophies and duly recognized for this achievement.
