Candidates running for office in Utah must gather signatures on nomination petitions to qualify for the ballot, and this bill adds new transparency and fraud-reporting requirements to that process. Election officials must now publicly post the name and date of signature of every verified petition signer on the lieutenant governor's website for at least 90 days, and if someone claims their signature was forged or used without their consent, the election official must notify the county or district attorney within three business days. The bill also clarifies when voters have the right to request their own signature be removed from a petition, setting a deadline of three business days after the petition is filed or the signature is electronically certified.
