On August 25, the Davis County, Utah, Republican Party held a special meeting to choose a new State Representative in the 17th District. The seat is vacant because the previous legislator had resigned. In Utah, when a legislative seat is vacant, the vacancy is filled by the Governor, who chooses the person chosen by the party that had won the last election for that seat. Eight Republicans sought the party’s approval, so the meeting used Instant Runoff Voting to make the choice. See this story.
