Bill Overview

Earlier ballot order draw for Utah
The law takes effect May 6, 2026, and changes Utah’s schedule for randomly choosing ballot order. In applicable even-numbered years, the lieutenant governor holds the draw 14–30 days before the fourth Wednesday in April. This replaces the rule requiring the draw within 30 days after the candidate filing deadline.
Utah congressional candidates can gather signatures statewide
Effective May 6, 2026, a special rule applies only to 2026 candidates seeking a qualified party’s U.S. House nomination. They need 7,000 signatures from registered Utah voters allowed to vote in that party’s primary, collected anywhere in Utah. The unchanged notice filing window runs from 8 a.m. on January’s first business day through 5 p.m. March 13, 2026. Collection begins after filing, and signatures are due at 5 p.m. on the last business day at least 14 calendar days before the party convention. That collection and submission deadline replaces the former 5 p.m. March 13, 2026 deadline.
