Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in Utah

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.

• 2025

Below you can find the scorecards found for the Utah State Legislature in 2025.

• Americans for Prosperity - Utah — Legislators are scored on their stances on conservative fiscal policy.
• Club for Growth Foundation — Legislators are scored on their votes on bills related to economic issues.
• Libertas Institute — Legislators are scored based on their votes in relation to the organization's "mission to defend individual liberty, private property and free enterprise."
• The Freedom Index — Legislators are scored on their adherence to the limited government principles of the U.S. Constitution.
• Utah Education Association — Legislators are scored based on their votes on bills related to education.
