Candidate Nomination Procedures Amendments

HB 460 amends Utah's candidate nomination rules by creating two distinct types of registered political parties. Primary nominating parties use signature-gathering to select candidates and appear on general election ballots with their party name, while convention nominating parties use internal conventions without signatures and their candidates appear without party identification. The bill repeals outdated provisions about "qualified political parties" and adjusts signature-gathering requirements for nominations. These changes directly affect political parties and candidates seeking office in Utah state elections.
