Utah Bill to Help Independent Candidates

Utah State Senator Dan Thatcher has introduced SB 28. It deletes the ballot language added a few years ago that says when an independent candidate is on the ballot, the ballot must say that the candidate “does not qualify to be listed on the ballot as affiliated with a political party.”

When an independent candidate for the legislature in 2018 was on the ballot, she learned that many voters saws that ballot statement and felt the ballot was saying she was not qualified. She brought a federal lawsuit, which is on hold to see if the legislature this year will repeal that language.
