Summary
The bill stops Utah political parties from qualifying candidates by gathering signatures. Parties must now select nominees at a convention, and a primary election will be held only if a party wants more than one candidate on the ballot. It also revises primary election dates and the procedure for filling U.S. Senate vacancies.
