#### Post-filing deadline analysis[edit]

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Utah in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 6, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifteen of the 82 Utah state legislators who filed for re-election in 2022—two Democrats and 13 incumbents—ran in contested primaries. That equals 18% of incumbents who filed for re-election re-election, the highest rate since 2014. The remaining 82% of incumbents did not face primary challengers.

Utah uses a unique convention-primary structure where candidates participate in party conventions before advancing to the primary. In 2022, conventions were held on April 23.

If a candidate receives at least 60% of the delegate vote in the convention, they typically advance directly to the general election. If no candidate crosses that threshold, the top-two vote-getters advance to a contested primary. In 2014, state law was changed so that candidates can also qualify for the primary ballot by collecting the required number of signatures.

Ballotpedia does not count contested convention races as contested primaries. Nevertheless, incumbents can be challenged and can lose in conventions if they do not gather signatures. Three incumbents were defeated in conventions in 2022: Reps. Stephen Handy (R), Douglas Sagers (R), and Steve Waldrip (R). This was the most state legislative incumbents defeated in Utah's conventions since 2014.

The total number of contested primaries—including those without incumbents—also reached its highest point since 2014. With 90 districts holding elections, there were 180 possible primaries in 2022.

This year, 23 districts (13%) were contested: three Democratic primaries and 20 for Republicans. For Democrats, this was up from one in 2020, a 200% increase. For Republicans, the number increased by 18% from 17 in 2020 to 20 in 2022.

Eight of those districts were left open, meaning no incumbents filed to run, the fewest since 2014.

Overall, 161 major party candidates advanced beyond the convention this year: 52 Democrats and 109 Republicans.

### Open seats[edit]

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Utah State Senate from 2010 to 2022.[3] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

Open Seats in Utah State Senate elections: 2010 - 2022

Year  | Total seats  | Open seats  | Seats with incumbents running for re-election
2022 | 15 | 1 (7 percent) | 14 (93 percent)
2020 | 15 | 3 (20 percent) | 12 (80 percent)
2018 | 14 | 6 (43 percent) | 8 (57 percent)
2016 | 15 | 4 (27 percent) | 11 (73 percent)
2014 | 14 | 2 (14 percent) | 12 (86 percent)
2012 | 14 | 3 (21 percent) | 11 (79 percent)
2010 | 15 | 1 (7 percent) | 14 (93 percent)

### Incumbents running in new districts[edit]

When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election.

In 2022, 14 incumbents filed to run for re-election in new districts different from those they represented before the election. Click [show] to view a list of these incumbents. The "New district open?" column indicates whether the incumbent running was the only incumbent seeking re-election in that district.

## Process to become a candidate[edit]

See also: Ballot access requirements for political candidates in Utah

See statutes: Title 20, Chapter 9 of the Utah Election Code

### Political party candidates[edit]

A political party candidate must first file a declaration of candidacy in person with either the Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor or the county clerk in the candidate's county of residence. The filing period opens on January 2 of the year in which the regular general election is held. If January 2 is one a weekend, the filing period opens the first business day after January 2. The filing period ends on the fourth business day after the opening of the filing period.[4][5][6]

The candidate must provide a certified copy of the declaration of candidacy to the chair of the county or state political party of which the candidate is a member. The candidate must also file a fair campaign practices pledge with the Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor. The candidate must provide a certified copy of the candidate's pledge to the chair of his or her county or state political party.[6]

A candidate must also pay a filing fee. The filing fee is $50 plus one-eighth of 1 percent of the total salary for the full term of the office that the candidate is seeking. A person who is unable to pay the filing fee may file a declaration of candidacy without payment of the filing fee upon a showing of "impecuniosity" (i.e., lacking sufficient funds) as evidenced by an affidavit of impecuniosity filed with the filing officer and, if requested by the filing officer, a financial statement filed at the time the affidavit is submitted.[6]

A political party candidate can be nominated via the convention process or the petition process. Conventions, and nominations made via convention, are conducted in accordance with political party bylaws. If a candidate opts to petition for ballot placement, he or she must collect signatures. Prior to doing so, the candidate must file a notice of intent to gather signatures with either the lieutenant governor's office of the county clerk in the candidate's county of residence (this form is distinct from the declaration of candidacy form noted above). Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought.[7]

Signature requirements

Office  | Signature requirement
Statewide offices (e.g., governor, United States Senator) | 28,000
United States Representative | 7,000
Utah State Senate | 2,000
Utah House of Representatives | 1,000

In order to sign a petition for a political party candidate, a voter must be allowed to vote in that party's primary election. A voter cannot sign more than one petition for the same office. Completed petitions must be submitted to either the lieutenant governor's office or the county clerk for candidates whose districts lie entirely within a single county. The filing deadline is two weeks prior to the party's nominating convention.[7]

### Independent candidates[edit]

A candidate who does not wish to affiliate with a ballot-approved political party may appear on the general election ballot by submitting a petition and a certificate of nomination form. A candidate for the office of governor must submit a petition with the signatures of at least 1,000 registered Utah voters. A candidate for the United States Senate must submit a petition with the signatures of at least 1,000 registered Utah voters. A candidate for the United States House of Representatives must submit a petition with the signatures of at least 300 registered voters residing within the congressional district, or at least 5 percent of the registered voters residing within the congressional district, whichever is less. A candidate for the state legislature must submit a petition with the signatures of at least 300 registered voters residing within the political division, or at least 5 percent of the registered voters residing within the political division, whichever is less.[6][8]

The names on the petition must be verified by the appropriate county clerk(s). After the petition has been verified, a candidate for state office is required to file the same petition and a certificate of nomination with the Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor. The filing period opens on January 2 of the year in which the regular general election is held. If January 2 is one a weekend, the filing period opens the first business day after January 2. The filing period ends on the fourth business day after the opening of the filing period.[9][6]

### Write-in candidates[edit]

To become a valid write-in candidate for a state office, an individual must file a declaration of write-in candidacy no later than 60 days before the regular general election. A candidate for statewide offices must file the declaration in person with the Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor. All other state office candidates may file the declaration in person either with the county clerk in their counties of residence or with the Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor.[6]

### Qualifications[edit]

## Redistricting following the 2020 census[edit]

Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed new state legislative districts for both chambers into law on November 16, 2021. After Cox called a special session to begin on November 9, 2021, the Utah legislature voted to approve the House and Senate district maps on November 10, 2021. The House districts proposal passed the House in a 60-12 vote and cleared the Senate in a 25-3 vote. The House voted 58-13 to approve the Senate map and the Senate approved the proposal in a 26-2 vote. [13][14] These maps took effect for Utah's 2022 legislative elections.

Below is the state Senate map in effect before and after the 2020 redistricting cycle.

1. ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.

3. ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
