Candidate Petition Amendments

Summary

The bill changes Utah's candidate petition process so that all signature packets must be filed with the county clerk where most signatures were gathered. It also directs the lieutenant governor to create rules for reimbursing counties that verify signatures for federal, constitutional and multi‑county races, using money appropriated by the legislature. The changes affect candidates, county clerks, and election officials and aim to make the verification process more uniform and financially supported.
