Presidential Electors Amendments

HB 92 modifies Utah’s process for allocating presidential electors. It changes how the state distributes its electoral votes: one vote per congressional district goes to the candidate winning that district, and two statewide votes go to the candidate winning the statewide popular vote. The bill also requires political parties or candidates to notify the lieutenant governor if a presidential elector vacancy occurs, and standardizes deadlines for filing candidacies and selecting electors. These changes apply directly to Utah’s election procedures and the state’s delegation to the Electoral College.
