Election Adjustments

SB 140 adjusts Utah election procedures by modifying the lieutenant governor's deadline for creating the master ballot position list and aligning the signature submission deadline for U.S. Representative candidates with other similar candidates. It updates two code sections: one specifying how election officials order candidates on ballots using a randomized alphabet system, and another clarifying the timeline for candidates to gather signatures to qualify for the primary ballot. The bill directly affects candidates running for U.S. Representative and election officials managing ballot ordering. These changes ensure consistency with prior election law (S.B. 2001) and streamline the qualification process for federal candidates.
