Utah Bill to Minimize Primaries Passes House

On February 24, the Utah House passed HB 393 by 43-26. It provides that if a candidate at a party nominating convention receives at least 70% of the vote, there would be no primary for that party, for that office. Current law allows candidates to petition onto the primary ballot even if they have little support at the party nominating meeting, but that provision would be eliminated when someone got 70% of the convention vote.
