Juab County: no published decisions yet from October meetings; election testing and ballot processing set
Juab County's government records published over the past two weeks contain no recorded votes or finalized outcomes. The three recent items supplied — a County Commission agenda, a Clerk notice on 2026 General Election voting options, and a scheduled public test of election tabulation equipment — are agendas and notices. Minutes for the Oct. 5 commission meeting have not been published, so what follows is what the records show was scheduled or proposed, not what was decided.
County Commission: Oct. 5 agenda, minutes pending
The Juab County Commission was scheduled to meet Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in the Commission Chambers at 160 N Main, Nephi, UT. Agenda items included a zone change recommendation for Raccoon Eye Properties LLC (Colby Park); consideration of a Rural County Economic Development Grant contract; purchasing for a community grant of cameras, tasers and an incinerator, a Search and Rescue purchase of a side-by-side and surplus of a side-by-side and trailer, and Starlink and computer (Travis Kenison and Scott Sorenson); purchase of grader tires, consideration of a culvert project and an update on a flooding problem (Lynn Ingram); and approval of the Sept. 8, 2026 and Sept. 21, 2026 meeting minutes.
No dollar amounts are listed in the agenda. Because minutes are not yet published, the record does not establish whether any of these items was approved, denied, or tabled.
Public test of election tabulation equipment
The Juab County Clerk scheduled a public Logic and Accuracy Testing demonstration of the tabulation equipment to be used in the Nov. 3 General Election. It was set for Oct. 8, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. in the Commission Chambers of the Juab County Building, 160 North Main, Nephi, UT.
