Governor Signed
Summary
The bill eliminates the ability of political parties to qualify candidates by gathering signatures and instead requires parties to use conventions, holding a primary only when more than one candidate is nominated. It also sets new dates for regular primaries, changes how mid‑term vacancies for Congress and the state legislature are filled, and updates filing deadlines and notice requirements. The changes apply to all candidates, parties, and election officials in Utah.
