Utah election officers are currently required to post a candidate's name, campaign contact information, and the office sought on their county or municipal website within three business days of accepting a declaration of candidacy, but they are not required to disclose the candidate's political party affiliation. This bill would add a requirement that election officers also post whether a candidate is affiliated with a political party, or note that the candidate has no party affiliation, even for offices that are officially nonpartisan. For election officers who do not maintain a website, the bill would require this candidate information to be published instead on the statewide Utah Public Notice Website. Judges running in retention elections, where voters simply decide whether to keep a judge in office rather than choosing between competing candidates, would be exempt from these posting requirements.
