Utah’s Lieutenant Governor, who is in charge of state elections in that state, has issued interim rules on how initiative signatures may be obtained electronically.  See this story.  The Lieutenant Governor’s office will also ask the Utah legislature next year to codify such rules into the election code.

This action is a consequence of the  Utah Supreme Court ruling in Anderson v Bell, handed down June 22, determining that electronic signatures on an independent candidate’s petition are valid.  Thanks to Rob Latham for the link.
