Cicilline's resignation taking effect Thursday. Expect a primary on September 5 and General on November 7.

So RI-01 and UT-02 will remain vacant until at least November?


Unless UT decides to be quicker, yes

We don't know when the UT-02 special will take place.  I believe the governor has 7 days following the date of resignation to announce a date for it.

Utah can't be quicker and may even be slower. Utah law mandates 90 days between the election being called and the primary and another 90 days between the primary special and the general special election. It also mandates the special election to be held at the same time as 1 of the 4 following; municipal election, regular primary election, regular general election or presidential primary.

This is so odd to me - why not just have the general on the same night that the rest of the country is having its general?

I believe it's to align with local/municipal elections.

The locals, or at least some of the big one's like SLC's, were changed to align with this. I think the situation is this is the earliest date legally available, but the state wants to save money and have the elections coincide.

Okay follow-up, why do certain Utah municipalities have local elections 3 weeks after the presidential? That's so stupid.

Uh, they don't. Salt Lake City only holds local elections in years like 2019, 2023, and 2027 - it never falls in a presidential year.

Of the 22 candidates, 13 are Republican, three are Democrats, and six candidates are running with third parties or are unaffiliated.

The deadline for the parties to select a candidate via the convention process, or for candidates to submit the 7,000 needed signatures to qualify for the primary election, is July 5.....

...... While most candidates are seeking the nomination through both the convention process and signature gathering, Edwards has opted to forgo the former in favor of the latter to earn a spot on the ballot before the Sept. 5 special primary election.

I would have loved to see Utah, of all states, elect someone named Remy Bubba Kush to office.

There’s controversy over whether or not Celeste Maloy is eligible to be in congress. She was registered in Utah as a Republican (though she lived in Virginia for many years) but was also somehow not eligible to vote. Utah does not have a SoS so the Lieutenant Governor is the chief elections official.

Bruce Hough has collected around 12k signatures, meaning I was wrong about this guy’s chances. He can split the vote and allow Edwards to actually win. Hough actually doesn’t seem particularly Trumpish, but he’s became the favorite of them.

She was registered in Utah as a Republican (though she lived in Virginia for many years) but was also somehow not eligible to vote. Utah does not have a SoS so the Lieutenant Governor is the chief elections official.

Maloy was probably ineligible to be a candidate at the Republican Convention, but given that she was allowed to participate and was nominated it's sort of too late now. She is eligible to represent Utah in Congress; it was the Republican Party's rules that she violated, not state law.

Hough is going to self-fund a campaign against her and seems basically serious to me. He's not particularly Trumpish but is probably more Trumpish than her (he is a former state party chair and an RNC member under Ronna Romney McDaniel; looking at his website, it seems like he's more focused on social conservatism). It's hard for me to tell how seriously people are taking the Maloy eligibility thing, but if it is serious then Hough stands to benefit.

Edwards' viability is very hard to decipher; it probably depends on turnout of her base of usually-Democratic voters more than anything else. I think 'weird turnout patterns lead to Edwards victory' is much likelier than 'perfect vote-split leads to Edwards victory'.

A state judge has ruled that Celeste Maloy will remain on the ballot in UT-02.

Quote
Celeste Maloy will remain on September’s Republican special primary election ballot in the race to replace Rep. Chris Stewart in Congress after a judge rejected a bid to remove her name amid questions about her eligibility to run.

On Monday morning, Third District Judge Andrew H. Stone denied a request for a temporary restraining order filed by R. Quin Denning as part of a lawsuit alleging Maloy was not a Republican when she filed to run in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District race.

In denying Denning’s request, Stone said he was reluctant to take action to keep Maloy from the ballot because that would be a de facto final ruling.



“We’re talking about upsetting a special election process that is now well underway. I think the public interest favors respecting the party convention’s choice,” Stone said.
