Bill > HB0092

This bill modifies Utah's laws regarding the selection and allocation of presidential electors, introducing a new system for choosing electors that differs from the previous winner-take-all approach. Specifically, the bill establishes that presidential electors will now be chosen on a per-Congressional district basis, with two additional statewide electors. For each Congressional district, the candidate with the highest number of votes will have their pre-selected elector represent that district, and the two statewide electors will be determined by the candidate with the highest total statewide votes. The bill also updates various procedural requirements, such as mandating that political parties and unaffiliated candidates certify their chosen electors to the lieutenant governor by August 31 of the election year, and provides detailed provisions for filling vacancies in the elector positions. Additionally, the bill makes several technical amendments to clarify language around candidate filings, electoral processes, and the responsibilities of the lieutenant governor in managing election-related documentation. The changes aim to provide more granular representation in the Electoral College selection process while maintaining a structured and transparent method for choosing presidential electors.
