Utah Representative Raymond Ward (R-Bountiful) has introduced HB 193, to reduce the number of signatures needed for candidates to get on a primary ballot if they don’t have significant support at a state party meeting. Existing law requires a petition of 2% of that party’s registration. The bill would lower that to 1,000 signatures for U.S. Senate, Governor, and Attorey General; 200 for Treasurer and Auditor; 500 for U.S. House; 200 for State Senate; and 100 for State House.
