The Personal Choice Party, as expected, submitted a petition to re-qualify for the Utah ballot on February 15. Assuming it has enough valid signatures, and also assuming the Libertarian Party has enough valid signatures, there will be 5 fully-qualified parties in Utah this year (the Constitution Party did not need to petition this year, due to its high vote in 2006).

The Personal Choice Party only exists in Utah. Its ballot logo is the famous “smiley-face”. In 2004, its first year of existence, it ran Charles Jay for president.

Parties that did not qualify as full parties can still place nominees on the November ballot this year, using the independent candidate procedure, which permits a partisan label. The Green Party used that method in Utah in 2000.
