Election Modifications

SB 341 addresses potential conflicts of interest for Utah's lieutenant governor in election administration. It requires the lieutenant governor to delegate certain election duties (like overseeing races where they or the governor are candidates) to county clerks, and allows the attorney general to step in for factual determinations or penalties. The bill also shifts responsibility for canvassing primary election results from the lieutenant governor to the state board of canvassers. These changes directly affect the lieutenant governor, county clerks, the attorney general, and the state board of canvassers during election administration. The bill makes these procedural adjustments without changing voting rules or funding.
