Utah Question 1 was on the ballot as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment in Utah on November 7, 1922. It was defeated.
A "yes" vote supported amending the constitution to increase the potential debt of the state to two percent of the value of the taxable property of the state. |
A "no" vote opposed amending the constitution to increase the potential debt of the state, thus maintaining the rate at one and a half percent of the value of the taxable property of the state. |
