Bill Summary
General Description: This bill amends provisions relating to nominating candidates for elective office and placing candidates on a ballot.
AI Summary
This bill amends Utah election law to redefine how political parties nominate candidates, distinguishing between "primary nominating parties" that use a signature-gathering and primary election process, and "convention nominating parties" that use other methods and do not participate in the regular primary election. It also adjusts deadlines for candidate filings and petition signatures, clarifies procedures for filling midterm vacancies in legislative and congressional offices, and makes various technical changes to election statutes, including updating definitions and references within the code.
